INTERVIEW: HENRY HOLLAND


Henry Holland has a dubious claim to the title of fashion "designer," as his creative efforts have been critically panned in recent years. His career began on a high note, however; his cheeky, rhyming "shout-out" tees gained him worldwide celebrity (I bought the "Cause Me Pain Hedi Slimane" shirt, directly from Mr. Holland himself, who kindly sent me a personal "thank you" via Blackberry). At any rate, Holland's status is on the rise again following his inclusion to the Designers at Debenhams range, where he will design a collection under the H! by Henry Holland label. Read this interview to hear the 26 year-old's take on success, his relationship with bff/model Agyness Deyn and his experience in the fashion industry.
