Bandanas & Door Knockers at House of Holland

Sunday, Feb 21, 2010 / 1:46 PM

Henry Holland’s House of Holland is like the British version of Charlotte Ronson‘s New York show — a party atmosphere with snap happy cameramen crushing a celebrity packed front row and a runway full of fun, wearable clothes.

This time around Henry looked back, stamping t-shirts with abbreviations like, “S.T.F.U.” instead of slogans like, “Get Your Freak On/Giles Deacon.” There were stripes, too, like for AW09.

Aside from that, he favored bandanas, whether printed on fabric and wrapped around the body or woven into door knocker earrings and chains (like Chanel, but not).

It was the first Holland show I’ve been to without Agyness Deyn either walking or watching, but the Girls Aloud stars sat front and center with Alexa Chung, Pixie Geldof and Jade Parfitt– and that pleased the crowd just fine.

House of Holland ROCKS!

whoa. just had a wicked flash to 5th grade… anyone else have the urge to watch Full House now?

Agyness was shopping in the LES today. I guess she had better things to do.

It just makes me think of that scene in Reality Bites (1994):

” Hi, I'm Cheryl Goode and welcome to “Wedgie”, the world of hip couture.
This week, we're in south-central Los Angeles,at the intersection of
Florence and Normandy- the flashpoint of fashion.
The phattest gangsta trend will increase your peace.
This bandanna by Donna Karen is blue for Crips, red for Bloods…
and only costs seventy-five dollars. “

But thats not to say that I didn't think it was totally fun. Which it was..

Troy: What happend to your normal clothes?
Michael: Wow, lelaina, look at you. you look…where´d you get that dress?
Lelaina: um…i don´t know, i just bought it. but i think i´m gotta go change…
Michael: no don´t, you look beautiful. you look like…you look like…
Troy: a doily.

ugh, House of Holland is so… lame.

Henry Holland tries so hard to be cool, but ultimately there's no substance, no design skills.. it's all buzz

Vickie: Don't bogart that can, man.
Troy: Are you retarded?
Vickie: No, I'm rhyming. It's not easy.
