Last night, East Londoners, who usually party in gritty bars, met West Londoners, who are all about posh venues, at Movida, the ultra chic club in the heart of the city. The force behind this union was none other than 24-year-old Henry Holland, designer-of-the-moment who has taken the fashion industry by storm with his fun, irreverent label, House of Holland. The event, which he's titled Fash Bash, naturally attracted his group of famous East London friends including accessories designer Katie Hillier, stylist Sam Ranger and shoe designer Atalanta Weller. His main girl and muse Agyness Deyn was not in attendance. Luckily, she'll have another chance, since this was only the second in a series of parties Holland is hosting at Movida. I dragged him into the back office of the club to chat about sponsors, education and the inspiration behind his party.
Zandile Blay: So what made you throw this party?
Henry Holland: Well Movida supported my show. They sponsored my venue and a lot of things, so this is an extension of the relationship. It's my pay back and my thank you.
