In just over four months, Connor Storrie has reached fashion It boy status.
Since premiering on our screens in late November, the Heated Rivarly hunk has mesmerized the world playing the gay hockey world’s favorite jock top Ilya Rozanov.
Along with co-star Hudson Williams, the on-screen lovers have ignited a rabid fandom we have never seen escalate this quickly. The Cottage is on fire & nothing can put it out.

And while Storrie has since become known for flaunting his rock hard body off-screen in a myriad of scantily-clad photo shoots (we’re not complaining!), his red carpet fits never miss.
The man knows how to turn a look.
Yes, Storrie has been quenching sartorial thirsts too and it’s all thanks to the handiwork of his uber-talented stylist James Yardley.
Originally from London and now based in Los Angeles, Yardley works with clients like Hannah Waddingham, Tom Daley, and Selma Blair alongside top fashion houses, including: Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Thom Browne, Bottega Veneta, and Tom Ford.
Yardley’s looks have been featured in fashion editorials in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, ELLE, Variety, L’Officiel, and British GQ, among others.
Most recently, Yardley was hailed as one of the Top Power Stylists of 2026 for The Hollywood Reporter’s annual ranking.
It’s hard to believe Yardley didn’t even know Storrie six months ago.
In mid-November, he began working with Storrie after the 26-year-old’s manager, Nick Todisco, reached out wanting his client to look his best for the upcoming press tour for then-unknown HBO Max series.
At the time, Yardley had absolutely no idea of the “complete whirlwind” that was to come.
As he explained to fashion influencer Dylan Kelly in one of his viral “walk with me” videos, Storrie’s style king ascendancy all began with a Kiton pinstripe suit for the Toronto Film Festival. The rest is It-boy history!
While Yardley has an impeccable eye for clothing, his success with Storrie has been a collaborative effort.
“Connor knows how to push things … more color, more energy, more direction,” Yardley told The Hollywood Reporter.
“I appreciate the time he commits to fittings. We fit and refit to make sure the tailoring is exact, and we properly explore the racks. We genuinely love the process of trying everything on.”
It’s no secret that clothes love Storrie almost as much as we do. Thank you, James Yardley!
