LFW House of Holland

Every season is the same when it comes to House of Holland. Every season I  look at what Henry has thought-up and I'm instantly satisfied. The clothing is wearable and full of energy, usually lots of colour, and engaging youthfulness. At London fashion week, his spring summer 2013 collection was showcased with a layer attitude. 90s inspired, it began with assertive criss-cross patterns on the likes of trousers and an over-sized shirt. The rainbow acid explosions on a biker jacket, dungarees, crop top and skinnies are my favourite and the purple and lilac grungy dresses and jumpsuits, worn with jeweled beanies have an appealing edginess. Basically, it seems Henry can't do anything wrong.

Please may somebody give me modelling lessons because I really need them. If only you were to see the other attempts my mother took trying to capture me in this newly customised Jil Sander style cardigan. I was a soldier about to battle with the wind. With my posture completely straight and stern and my eyes (squinting in the sunlight) making me look incredibly moody, it was not a good look. To add to the pessimism, I am beginning to regret doing the 'F' so large. What do you think?

Some may believe that having your initial printed on an item of clothing is egotistical, while others may consider it preppy. I like how designers have been going for this look as a way of making their knitwear recognisably their own and, naturally, I followed their lead.
