Henry Holland’s mates.Where are the ‘Go Henners’ slogan T-shirts, dudes?

I went to the HOH show expecting to hate everything that wandered down the c-walk, having found pretty much all his previous collections offensive to the eye - slogan tees, purple tartan, over-sized Granny sofa flowers exploding everywhere and polka dot skin-tight dresses that look like they’re from American Apparel.

But ol’ Henry proved me wrong by coming up with a collection that actually looked a bit grown-up and wearable.

Much like PPQ there was a lot of thick and thin stripes in the colour palette of the Dulux colour system. The strapless, fitted ones were real winners; the man in a pink romper suit was not. Pointed shoulders and hips and agressive pleats that poked out from the hem of the skirt like a propeller were also surprisingly cute.
