Fashion Sense: House of Holland


I love House of Holland: day-glo colors, t-shirts with slogans that are fashion-insider-jokes, and finally, Henry Holland’s first ready-to-wear line, to be available this spring with Axl Rose-inspired patterns.

Henry Holland is a British designer with a sense of humor. Brightly colored and with slogans that encompass the entire front, it’s impossible to miss his t-shirts directed at fashion insiders, models, and designers.

Currently available are two collections: One Trick Pony and Fashion Groupies, with Stephanie & Axl shown as coming soon.

In One Trick Pony, you can find shirts that say:
FLICK YER BEAN FOR AGYNESS DEYN
Pronounced de-eyn, Agyness is a top model currently booked in Georgio Armani and Burberry campaigns, who actually models all of the t-shirts on the House of Holland website; her name is synonymous with British cool.



I’LL SHOW YOU WHO’S BOSS KATE MOSS
Kate Moss is a legend: ex-girlfriend of Babyshambles Pete Dougherty, currently seeing The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince and with modeling campaigns of her own in addition to collections for the infamous British TopShop.



WHAM BAM THANKYOU STAM.
Jessica Stam is a top Canadian model who is probably best known outside of the fashion world as the inspiration and name behind Marc Jacob’s classic bag style, the Stam.




His Fashion Groupies collection boasts shirts with sayings such as:
DO ME IN THE PARK MARC
Marc Jacobs we all know and love; this shirt alludes to Bryant Park and Fashion Week.
and

UHU GARETH PUGH.
Gareth Pugh is one of my favorite British designers, and while he and Henry Holland are friends (not to mention contemporaries), his style is the other extreme from Henry Holland. We’ll save that for another day.
