Introducing.....The House of Holland family

We are getting ready for the show - and whilst we can't show you the magic that is happening in the studio we can show you the people who are making it happen! Over the next 48 hours we will introduce you to the shiny happy people of House of Holland. Hope you're very excited to meet them!

Did you know we SMELL?

And we smell of Henry's fragrance. Here is some info from the uber professional press site:
"Created by a distinct group of designers and perfumers, these limited edition fragrances are designed to represent a global range of contemporary views on creativity and culture. Through the designers’ concepts and the perfumers’ knowledge of fine fragrance, two artistic disciplines interweave to explore new perfume compositions. Six Scents: Series Two will feature fragrances by: Phillip Lim, Henry Holland, Damir Doma, Henrik Vibskov, Richard Nicoll, and Toga. Individually numbered with custom packaging, each fragrance will be offered in a limited quantity of 2,000 bottles and a percentage of the net proceeds will go toward Pro-Natura in support of their environmental sustainability programs"

All we know is that it smells AMAZING and look at how fancy pants the packaging is!

HOH hearts HOLE

OK - it's time to admit our girl crush number 2. Miss Courtney Love. What can we say? She was our grunge queen, our musical goddess and sister looks great in a tiara. What more do you need?
Please join us in rocking out for a minute (we did last night at the Shepherds Bush Empire!)

Henry's been a VERY busy boy

So as well as busying himself getting ready for the House of Holland show (it's on 20th Feb in case you don't already know!) Henry has been working hard on his H! by Henry Holland Debenhams collection. Whilst the press launch was a few months ago (you probs read about it right?!), it is now time for you lucky folks to get your fashion mits on the collection! Here is our very own Jessica Fletcher acting as H! mannequin before the store was open! Love Jessica modelling henry's varsity jacket!

If you have to cry, go outside

For a long time, here at HOH, we have had a major Girl crush. Who is the object of our affections dare you ask? None other than the wonderful, the talented, the grand-dame that is Kelly Cutrone. We loved her on the hills, we love her in Kell on Earth, she's Henry's PR and shut up she's written a book. Everyone must purchase it immediately.
