As honours go, having your portrait painted by David Hockney is a rare one. While Molly Goddard hasn’t been immortalised by Britain’s greatest living painter, one of her designs has. When Harry Styles rocked up to sit for Hockney last May, the singer wore an orange and yellow striped cardigan from the designer’s SS22 collection, cementing its woolly charm for all eternity.
Goddard only learned of her garment’s fame at the same time as the rest of us. “It was a total surprise,” she smiles. “It’s great, quite mad. I guess [Harry] just owns stuff. A lot of the celebrity stuff was a surprise. It’s always been organic. We’ve never pushed it. We don’t do gifting or anything like that. The Rihanna stuff was a surprise, too.”
