I had the chance to explore Henry Holland’s world - on HIS terms. Holland, recognized for his eclectic and bold designs - has evolved his design aesthetic from his recognizable graphic tees to a full-grown contemporary collection.  With his S/S2010 collection titled “Give To Me Your Leather Take From Me My Lace” - Holland was inspired by his two favorite moments in music and film - Axl Rose’s “November Rain” and the Roberts/Gere union in “Pretty Woman”.

Mr. Holland gave me the lowdown on his biggest vice (Vodka), the most overrated virtue (wealth), his favorite photographer (Rankin) and the worst trend of all time (Rubber leggings)!

It’s fun and witty - and provides an insight into the creative mind we like to call Henry Holland.
