British Vogue tells me my son broke the internet yesterday. To be fair, some credit goes to a couple of Harrys. Not that one though.
That’s Harry Styles, styled by Harry Lambert, in a custom Patrick Carroll knit, vintage jeans and sunglasses. I truly cannot remember the details of the sunglasses because, whirlwind.
Almost all of this, the album announcement and the very enthusiastic reaction thereto played out on Instagram. If you’re reading this early Saturday, many of the stories will still be up here.
Because when it rains it pours, I happen to be in New York today for a very quick, very happy visit with my newlywed daughter and her husband. When I have a minute I will come back here just in case in when said minute arrives I will have happened to have processed the last couple of days, and decided whether it’s remotely interesting to hear the experience of a mother watching her son have a moment in which he becomes public. And is it appropriate?
Until then, thank you all so much for everything, and off into the wintery mix I go. Have an excellent weekend.

I hope his experience is exclusively positive! (or almost exclusively positive, anyway; some people are… the way they are.) That is a fabulous shirt. :-)
Woohoo! Go Patrick!!!
Cheering from my corner. :) Enjoy your visit and be safe in the wintry mix!
An absolutely fantastic weekend to you and your family. ❤
Fantastic news!!!
Congratulations to Patrick & you, his loving, supportive mom!!
Please tell us more when you have time – IMO, it is appropriate. You’re proud & happy!! Spread the joy.
OMG!!
Love Pat’s custom knit for Harry Styles!
Looks amazing – and how perfect for HS’s new album.
Not only is it featured on Pat’s Instagram account, but also on Harry Styles’ (45M followers?) account.
This is huge!!
I’m thrilled for all of you.
Wonderful news for both your children! So glad they’re safely launched…Wishing you and your family a wonderful 2026!
Congratulations! You must be thrilled. Enjoy the happy whirlwinds!
❤️
joy shared is joy doubled (at least!!) congratulations + enjoy nyc. x
What fun!
Love this excerpt from b vogue: “LA-based Carroll …was plucked from obscurity by Jonathan Anderson’s team, who connected with the provocative messaging on his often camp pieces. Now firmly rooted in the art world, rather than fashion’s more frivolous landscape, Carroll crafts “picture poem paintings.”” Plus more on the great fit. Go Patrick!
Thank you for this, Wendy. My attempt to open the link hit a paywall. I don’t know how Lisa’s going to contain all this happiness at once, she who asks “Is it appropriate?” [she who has forgotten the battlecry of times past: “Impunity!”]. Wait, Lisa I think that one word battle cry would slay on a Patrick Carroll pullover!
Lisa, your son and Harry Styles are everywhere on Instagram!
Huge demand for your son’s shirt!!!
I want one, too!!!
This must be a fun, wild ride for your family along with Harry Styles.
You’ve got a great story to tell!!
So incredibly exciting. Between the impending publication of his book and now this…he must be floating in and out of reality. And your daughter’s beautiful wedding. You’re having an incredible “mom” period. I hope you get that butterfly!!! It seems appropriate for now.
Amazing
WOW WOW WOW – congratulations to Patrick and his mom! This is huge! Thank you for sharing it.
I just went on Patrick’s insta site and see that he now has 1.1 million followers . Impressive.
Yesss! As another proud mom of an artist; I say, send your children to art school- there is a good future in the arts.
