Holland gets sophisticated

There is no question that Henry Holland is getting older. And with age comes sophistication. He said himself that he makes clothes for the women in his life; and as a natural progression he wants to grow up alongside his company.

'Our girl is being invited to more cocktail parties than swap parties', said Henry Holland.

So long gone are the slogan tees and HoH has opted his inspiration from glamour and disco paired with the 1970's and New York nightlife. The acid colours were still there; from turquoise and aqua to purples and lime greens. According to Henry they always start the colour scheme from purple and work from there. The playfullness of HoH was seen in a banana leaf print, swarowski crystals embellishments, iron on stars and fluffly donut earrings. For me HoH will never be a label for grown-up women, but this collections showcased shapes that were more consciously sophisticated.

Me and my dear friends Kelly and Nathan had the privilige to be invited to a HoH screening and Q&A held in the Henry Holland Pub (Henry himself said if they ever decide to close up can he please have the sign!). This was the first time Henry saw the show after the catwalk, and after meeting him in person I am genuinly impressed. He was such a nice man; very laidback and funny. BFF material for sure. A LFW highlight.
