Abstract
Not everyone would agree with this Screenager. Take Harry Styles , a known admirer of Gucci: he wore the Italian designer label’s suits, loafers and shirts. It was one such shirt that landed Tess Ward in trouble in Spring, 2017. The Naked Diet author Ward posted on Instagram a picture of herself wearing a baroque blazing red floral shirt identical to one owned by Styles. It was all the confirmation Directioners needed that she and Styles were an item (two of us believe there is no need to explain that Directioners are devotees of the boy band One Direction , but the third insists we should elucidate. While we’re elucidating, the shirt cost £725).
