If you've ever been captivated by Harry Styles's '70s-influenced style or found yourself enthralled by Alexander Skarsgård's method dressing for the press tour of his biker BDSM film Pillion, you owe stylist Harry Lambert a massive thank you. While his bread and butter is styling, he's recently been putting on his designer hat for major collaborations; first for Zara and now for Pandora—which, to Lambert, felt like a very natural fit. "I feel very linked to the ethos and the world of Pandora through the idea of collecting charms and pieces that link to memories or special occasions. At work, I sit at a desk surrounded by trinkets, toys, key rings, jewelry, books, and things I've collected along the way," Lambert says. "I think that's very much aligned with Pandora and the idea of memory making, nostalgia, and remembering special moments."
This collaboration is act one of Pandora Wonders, a multi-year creative platform with new installments and collaborations to come, and is filled with baroque pearl charms like pufferfish and ice cream cones that arrived right in time for summer. Along with the summer-centric pieces, you'll find 14K gold-plated necklaces and bracelets waiting to be adorned. "In my personal style, I like to try and wear something each day that puts a smile on my face or sparks a conversation. Not to be vain, but if someone says they like something that I'm wearing, I always love that. It makes you feel great about yourself. That really inspired the jewelry," Lambert says, "When I was talking with Pandora and was told it was going to be based around pearls, I was like, 'Perfect.' The pearl was the first piece of jewelry I really invested some money in."
Ahead, we caught up with multi-hyphenate Harry Lambert about what he gets up to when he's not styling Harry Styles for a world tour, designing jewelry that sparks joy reminiscent of childhood, and planning his next major move.
Where Are You From?
"I'm originally from Norwich, and I currently live in East London, between Bethnal Green and Shoreditch."
What's Entertaining You?
"Not to sound too dramatic, but work is entertaining me a lot. I really enjoy my job, and I feel really lucky that I get to do something that entertains me and brings me a lot of joy.
When I'm not working, I like to fill my time with stuff that's easy. I'll watch Real Housewives or RuPaul's Drag Race. I also really enjoy walking my dog. I've had a puppy now for about eight months, and getting up really early and taking her for walks fills me with a lot of joy. I find that very entertaining."
What's In Your Cart?
Prada SS12 Golf Jacket: "In my cart on eBay, I have a studded Prada Spring/Summer 2012 runway jacket that's sitting in my basket. I haven't bought it yet because it's very expensive, but it sits there to remind me that it's there and that I want it and I love it. So maybe one day."
What Are You Browsing?
"I deleted TikTok, but then moved to Instagram Reels, so I don't know if that really removed the habit. I don't use many apps. Maybe Candy Crush occasionally, and Instagram, the Mail app, and WhatsApp are kind of the main ones."
When I do have some downtime, or when I'm working and want something in the background, I have YouTube on a lot. I can't say my YouTube watch list is very educational or deep. It's very much clips of RuPaul's Drag Race, news about theme parks and theme park updates, and people going on holiday to theme parks. That's kind of it."
What Are You Saving?
Prada Spring/Summer 2012 pieces: "Like I said, on eBay I'm always looking out for Prada Spring/Summer 2012 pieces. It's one of my favorite collections ever, so I'm always collecting pieces from that."
Paula's Choice 5% Vitamin C Sheer Moisturizer SPF 50: "I have a sunscreen moisturiser that I always repurchase, which is Paula's Choice SPF 50 with 5% Vitamin C. I'm not very much of a beauty guy, but I use that all the time."
Dries Van Noten sneakers: "For clothing I wear on repeat, I have the Dries trainers in probably every single color they come in, so I wear those a lot."
