House of Holland

A new Post "House of Holland" was written on the February 19, 2012 at 5:21 am on "Textile Global - Textile and Fashion News".

Henry Holland has come a long way from his punchy slogan tees, and
it's to his credit that his development as a designer hasn't muddled
his sense of pop. The House of Holland [1] collection on the runway
today showed a ton of finesse, but it was happily unpretentious,
featuring mod shapes tricked out in bright stripe, zigzag, and
houndstooth patterns. Holland's best ideas here centered on the
houndstooth: He magnified the print, turned it out in gradient hot
pink and purple or in a more subdued, shiny blue, and then came back
with several garments embroidered in a kind of disembodied version,
one in which some of the checks had randomly dissolved or disappeared.
Elsewhere, his color-blocked dresses in a fine stripe had a youthful
punch; on the runway, at least, they looked great paired with
skinny-striped bell-bottoms. Holland also had some winners in his
multicolored zigzag silks and intarsia knits. The show could have used
some editing---all of Holland's big ideas were repeated more times
than absolutely necessary, and there were a few stray garments, like a
red leather skirt with ruffled hem, or a fitted workman-style
jumpsuit, that seemed a little out of place. (That said, they were
perfectly nice pieces taken on their own.) On the whole, though, this
was a strong outing for Holland---possibly his strongest yet.
