HENRY HOLLAND FOR LE SPECS | EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW | VIDEOS





I had the amzing opportunity to interview one of my favourite designers, Henry Holland! Next to him, is designer Hamish Tame from Le Specs. Henry and Le Specs created a 19 unisex range piece of sunglasses, which I cannot wait to purchase! My favourites are the Hoodies and Muffin Tops! Pre-order on My Catwalk now! Also check out the fun launch party pictures here!



We spent a good hour chatting about all things fashion, Le Specs, models, Lady Gaga, the androgynous look including Andrej Pejic, Henry's schizophrenic personality, his latest lust item - the Prada tartan backpack and also some of his upcoming projects including a full menswear and underwear range, which is totally exciting! I can't wait to sport some of his designs. We also chatted about his signature hair, story on how he became BFFS with London It Girls Agyness Deyn and Alexa Chung! Plus find out why Henry describes Karlie Kloss as an elegant dinosaur! haha



I recorded the interview and split it up into 3 videos. I know it maybe long, but if you love him, I'm sure you will watch it all! Please dont' judge me on my video editing skills, it's my first time.



I'm also loving our colourful jeans!







First video we talk primarily about his collaboration, Henry Holland for Le Specs







In the second video he talks about how he began his fashion label, House of Holland and what inspires him from season to season, creating such dynamic designs. I also asked what he would've done if he wasn't a designer.





In the final part, we discuss social media, favourite models, the androgynous look, his personal style, his phobias, Lady Gaga, PLUS how he became friends with London It- Girls Agyness Deyn and Alexa Chung. It's a very interesting story! Unfortunately the 3rd video was not able to be captured on film, but there is still an audio recording.

HENRY HOLLAND FOR LE SPECS | LAUNCH PARTY | SYDNEY AUSTRALIA


I'm wearing Mimco Necklace, Queenspark shirt, G-star Raw Blazer, Vintage jeans, ManiaMania Ring

On Tuesday night, I was invited to an exclusive cocktail party at the Hunky Dory Social Club on Sydney's Oxford St, for the launch of Henry Holland for Le Specs collaboration range. Henry Holland, who has his own label, House Of Holland, is one of my favourite British designers. He is best known for his slogan (eg. I'll Show You Who's Boss Kate Moss) and acronyms (eg. F.F.S - For F**** Sake) tees. His designs are always dynamic, fun, popping with colour and edge. For those in Australia, who didn't know him as a designer, you would know him as BFFs to London It-Girls, Agyness Deyn and Alexa Chung (how exciting she will be coming in September?). It was so great to have the opportunity to meet him and his bubbly personality. Kinda obsessed with his quiff.

His range of sunnies with Le Specs are only $90, with very cool styles, including Hoodies, Monobrow, 80-20, Muffin Top, Circle The Mesh, Blinders, Lennons and Flat Top. Even the names are cool. I personally love the Hoodies and the Muffin Top. They will available in Australia at General Pants Co. and David Jones from September. But you can also pre-order them now online at MyCatwalk.com.au! Trust me, they will go quick!

Henry Holland's House Of Holland label clothing range will also be available soon! ps. you can start getting his amazing suspender style leggings at General Pants Co. here now!

The night had a great intimate vibe with a half indoor/outdoor environment (perfect weather as well) on a rooftop, while sipping on some yummy lychee and cosmopolitan cocktails. We also got try on the sunnies and got Polaroid snaps, which was a great souvenir to remember the night with. As it was a Henry Holland party, we all dressed pop in colour!

I had the chance to interview him the next morning, which I will post up shortly!
