Henry Holland
We officially heart Henry Holland. The man is a creative genius and now showcasing his fourth collection at London Fashion Week, he's once again the toast of the town.
For starters he managed to bag Aggy for his catwalk, after the model-of-the-moment has been notably absent so far from the London Fashion scene, and she only walked once in New York last week for Anna Sui.
It may have something to do with the fact they're best buddies in real life and both made it big at roughly the same time. We think it's pretty endearing really, considering they both care so much for the other's career.
So, onto the fashion itself and what did he deliver for his latest House of Holland masterpiece? Well, it was clear he had taken some inspiration from colour charts for starters!
We revealed a while ago that Henry had been decorating his Primrose flat for the past three years, and with the amount of paint charts lying about he was inspired to start drawing his latest collection in the middle of the night!
Agyness opened proceedings storming down the catwalk in a crisp two piece, in muted shades of green and white, followed by a model showcasing a similar look in varying shades of purple.

The bright airiness of the collection was contrasted by the paleness of the model's skin, the severe hair cuts and black lipstick, which we thought was a great combined over all look.
The funky tights followed the striped patterns of the clothes, which has a certain crispness about them and looked expertly finished- there wasn't a line out of place.
A standout piece for us was a shaggy jacket, finished in shades of black, grey and pewter, all broken up by crisp white lines in between. Muffs made a startling reappearance on the catwalk too in a range of colours.
There was also a cool asymmetric folded skirt shown in his range and we think this will be big in upcoming months, as this sort of origami detail has been featured on three catwalks this week so far.
We loved the bondage boots showcased on a few of his models- they are set to become a sell out in upcoming months, and even the shoe versions were gorgeous, all coated out in purple, orange and green.
Was this his collection his best to date? We're fairly certain the fashion pack will say so, but for us nothing can quite top his SS09 vision of polka dots, florals and cut off jeans.
