Back in my fashion stylist days I met Henry Holland at a few events and loaned clothes from his House of Holland studio to style Andy MacDowell and her daughters Raynie and Margaret in New York. With diffusion lines available at Debenhams and celebrity model best pal Agyness Deyn strutting the catwalk in London Fashion Week for you, he was a high-profile designer and magazine regular.
Fast forward to the last three years and Henry has launched the Henry Holland Studio, a collection of hand-built ceramics that began as a hobby during the pandemic. With a series of enviable collaborations and products available to purchase from Liberty London, he has already established himself within his new arena.
When Moët & Chandon comes knocking you certainly answer that door and that is precisely what Henry did when tasked with creating dinnerwear for an exclusive event.
"When the official Champagne supplier to Henley Royal Regatta Moët & Chandon asked me to create a series of ceramic dinner chargers for a private dinner, I headed straight into the studio to develop some bespoke, oversized 'one offs' in our signature style for their guests."
Henry quickly fell in love with the meditative process of building each piece by hand, which provided a new, welcoming pace of working, following years spent in the frenetic world of fashion. While working with ceramics Henry has brought his quirky style and colour combinations from the fashion world into his love of ceramics making his creations uniquely different to others on the market. With a return to the hand-built and raw aesthetic brought on by the pandemic and people having time to find hobbies and new ways to stimulate the mind and exercise the 'creativity muscle', Henry found his in a studio in Hackney and what has come from that is a stylish, elegant and quirky collection available to purchase from his online boutique and Liberty London.
