Pull up a chair: an exciting new project is landing in your inbox and on the Substack app
If you’re here, you’re likely eager to discover what “FLP” is all about. Maybe you’ve already seen my work on Substack, browsing, liking posts, or subscribing to other newsletters, while I’ve been analyzing and preparing for this launch. Either way, welcome to a space that’s about to flourish.
Let’s set the record straight: the Fine Line Project is NOT a fanpage. You won’t find fanfiction, wild theories, or constant updates on every little move. This project is anchored in a mature, critical, and professional viewpoint.
I have big ambitions: I intend to explore the phenomenon of Harry Styles with the depth and respect it truly deserves. You heard that right. During my research, I came across an academic essay that echoed my surprise at the lack of serious discussion surrounding such an influential figure in today’s pop culture¹.
FLP is stepping into that void, offering an intellectual approach that reflects Harry Styles' significance. But rest assured, this won’t be a collection of dusty tomes. Expect sharp, engaging articles bursting with multimedia flair. Think playlists, striking images, and maybe even a cheeky video clip or two as we dive into his artistic journey, marketing strategies, and cultural impact.
And there’s no better time to embark on this exploration than now. With Harry off the radar since mid-2023, we have the perfect opportunity to peel back the layers of his empire without the usual distractions. This break allows us to examine the intricacies of his success. Trust me, it’s a more exhilarating ride than you might think.
This project has a definitive beginning and end. I have crafted a robust Editorial Plan that will guide us through a captivating narrative, covering themes from his music to his social impact, public image, and the complexities of the music industry. I’m set to release one article each week on Wednesday, kicking off on September 3, 2025, and concluding around late-June 2026. Each article will be meticulously planned and researched, fitting seamlessly into a larger narrative.
This commitment to quality stems from my deep respect for you, the reader, and your time. Like you, I refuse to settle for subpar content. My belief is that the material we engage with should enlighten and enrich us, and that’s the standard I uphold.
FLP stands for my promise to bring you something big, tough, and really fun. My instincts as a designer want me to have a clear structure, but my passion for creativity pushes me to think outside the box. I'm fully committed, and being authentic is my top priority (dramatic violin music 🎻, because I'm serious).
So, if you’re ready to dive in, I invite you to subscribe now to catch the first article and join me on this exciting journey.
The About page will give you additional insight into me and the mission behind this newsletter.
See you on September 3
Best,
Rossella
