At the TCS press day, Butters came face to face with one of her more unpleasant memories from fashion week: Henry Holland SS10. And judging by the snarls that issued from that little mouth, particularly when we thumbed through the rack of lacey hoisery samples which completed the white trash wedding a la Britney et K Fed theme with which Mr. Holland underwit his show, were an indication to me that Butters and Henry had not made nice since LFW.On close examination, the twill fabrics and luke-warm wash denim which were the basis of suits, shorts, shifts and leotards were no softer to the touch on press day than they were on the eyes at show time. And my suspicion that those brightly colored totally transparent lace numbers with which the show closed were flammable were confirmed upon first contact between fingers and crunchy polyester.
The knits, however, were the one redeeming factor. Signature house logo-printed oversized cashmere dresses and jumpers were amazingly soft to the touch and would make a great investment snuggler for the upcoming cold months ahead. Other than that though, a closer look at the collection did nothing but reaffirm in detail the stark truth that whilst roomie Agy Deyn may have helped you build the house, Mr. Holland, that fact alone does not mean anyone will necessarily want to live in it.
