Biography

Henry Holland is the creator of the outrageous House of Holland label. His upbeat manner typifies the A-list of fashion entrepreneurs and astute businessmen which have swept the capital in recent years.  Awarded the BFC New Generation sponsorship from Topshop at an early age, Henry’s designs quickly flourished displaying a mature aesthetic well beyond his years.

His work then went on to be displayed twice in swift succession under the Fashion East umbrella where he launched his imaginative and Cheeky Tees collection as part of an industry in-joke before moving onto more serious formal wear, while still displaying his trademark typographic theme.

Today, House of Holland is sold alongside some of the world’s most sought after designers, in Dover Street Market in London, Barneys in New York, Lane Crawford in Hong Kong, and Isetan in Tokyo. House of Holland was voted Best Tartan at the Scottish Fashion Awards, for the exclusive tweed produced by Savile Row’s Norton & Sons.

Henry has since gone on to design a collection for Levi Strauss & Co and created Debenham’s H! line of clothing for women.  House of Holland enjoys a magnetic fan base including Sienna Miller, Nicole Ritchie, the Olsen Twins, Gwen Stefani, Fergie, Naomi Campbell, Pixie Geldof, Daisy Lowe, and Agyness Deyn, as well as Christopher Kane, Richard Nicoll, Gareth Pugh, and Marc Jacobs.  With its motto passio factions, House of Holland strives to be elegant and sophisticated while retaining a strong sense of fun and rebellion.
