easygoing, ever so slightly sunburnt man sitting opposite me in his striped shirt and brown shorts outside an east London cafe enjoying a breakfast lemonade – “I am fasting” – doesn’t present as much of a shibboleth-buster. But there are, on closer inspection, signs. The necklace. The manicure: half-brown, half-turquoise.
What motivates Lambert – and Styles – is purely, the stylist insists, to be “very joyful, very happy, positive, camp”. Their most notable example of feel-good fashion was the patchwork JW Anderson cardigan that the singer wore just before COVID-19 hit, the recreation of which quickly became a TikTok-fuelled challenge that saw many through lockdown, not least Edie’s Nanny Gill. Edie wore her cardigan to see Styles perform in Portugal last month. “The true fans were very impressed,” she says.
“Somewhere along the way, being a man became, among other things, about dressing as plainly as possible.” “I didn’t come out until I was 27,” he continues. “It’s weird. I mean, everyone knew, most likely. But I didn’t feel comfortable until really, really late.” He lives in east London with his partner, a fashion PR, and is about to scale up from a flat to a house. “There will be a wardrobe room. It’s the dream. At the moment it’s a bit painful.”These days, as Styles’s wingman, he is collaborating with mega-brands such as Gucci.
“Both my parents have always liked to dress up. And obviously it helps my dad that he has a son who works in fashion. It is a little bit more accessible to him. It’s hard for that generation. It’s kind of sucky because they missed this rebirth of men. Is it too late for them to change? No. Is it hard for them to change? Probably.”
And what has he done to change that? “Not enough. I mean, it’s a slow process. But we have to make a start. I have absolutely not done enough to represent myself in fashion yet.”to see his new trainer after our chat, once he’s finished his lemonade-only breakfast. He is endearingly – and brutally – frank about his own shortcomings. He laughs about how, when he is on one of his flashily catered photographic shoots, he will ask for KFC.

It doesn't challenge anything. It's just a bit of trite genderf*ck. The seventies are over, David Bowie is dead, everyone out of the pool.
