One Direction's stylist: 'Harry's the guy you would bring home to your mum and Zayn is the mysterious one'

Caroline Watson (pictured left with Liam Payne), the official stylist for One Direction, has opened up about her initial plans for each of the heartthrobs' individual looks within the group. 

Speaking to The Muse, she admitted that she created a persona for each member and then dressed them according to that, which worked for their overall appeal:

"When I first started working with them, I had an idea for what I wanted for all the boys: Niall was always going to be my sporty boy; Zayn was always the cool, mysterious one that was quite street but could be quite high fashion at the same time; Harry was bowties, blazers, that guy that you want to bring home to your mum; Liam was the boy next door. I mean, now, Liam's transitioned and completely grown into this whole new, sexy guy."

She went onto add that she has been able to adapt their personal style as they've grown and they have all become their own characters over time:

"I did say to them at the start, 'We're not going to be doing this all the time, I want to work with you.' I've been able to grow with them. I said, 'I want you guys to eventually become more like models and rockstars, as opposed to being that cheesy pop boy band.' They've really trusted me and it's gone from the cargo pants to skinny, ripped jeans and longer hair, a bit of stubble, tight-fitting t-shirts."
