Henry Holland BA (Hons) (born 26 May 1983) is an English fashion designer, businessman and blogger from Ramsbottom, Greater Manchester. Holland gained attention with his bold, 1980s-inspired T-shirts that displayed catchphrases such as, "I'll tell you who's boss, Kate Moss" in the 2000s; Holland subsequently designed a full collection and founded his own fashion house. He is well known for his work with model Agyness Deyn.
Holland is a graduate of the London College of Communication and has worked for the following publications: the teenage magazine, Sneak (fashion section), Smash Hits and Bliss.
Prior to the launch of his own company, Holland gained attention with his Fashion Groupies T-shirt designs.
In 2008, Holland launched the "House of Holland" fashion label.
In spring 2009, Levi Strauss & Co debuted a denim collaboration with Holland.
In September 2009, Holland negotiated a deal with the British retailer, Debenhams, for the creation of a fashion line, "H! by Henry Holland"; the line was eventually sold in Debenhams stores from spring 2010.
For Spring/Summer 2010 he designed a pink wedding dress exclusive to LA-based boutique REVOLVE Clothing under his House of Holland line.
Holland's 2011 collection features a number of T-shirts that display acronyms such as "waysb", meaning, "what are you sayin' babes".
In May 2012, Holland's collaboration with sunglasses company, Le Specs, was released. The collection, entitled "Henry Holland for Le Specs", featured sunglass models with names such as "Muffin Top" and "Blinders". The collection campaign featured Australian hip-hop recording artist and model Iggy Azalea.
Following the success of his first two eyewear campaigns starring Iggy Azalea and Ioanna Gika, Holland released his third eyewear campaign, this time featuring model and actress Adwoa Aboah. The range featured a design called 'Cagefighters'.
To mark Magnum's 25th birthday, Henry Holland has created a bespoke 60s inspired dress complete with mimicked cracked chocolate made from layers of fabric and sequins. Holland follows in the footsteps of notable designers, including Karl Lagerfeld, who have also worked with the ice cream company. The dress took over 3 months to complete and is now worth around £5,000.
In Autumn 2008 and Spring 2010, Holland co-presented T4's flagship fashion and music series, Frock Me, alongside Alexa Chung and Gemma Cairney.
