London Fashion Week is in full-swing and it is expected that we would see some the best Spring 2010 collections. Well, not from House of Holland that is. Pardon my french but WTF! How many breasts do you need to show on the runway just to get some buzz. I mean, come on now.

So, the first half of the show were a series of fugly denim and lace garments. The second half right after the inappropriate wedding gown, a collection of shirts with the words: borrowed, blue, old and new. I guess this was supposed to echo the old Victorian bridal saying, something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue'... wow, so original! I'm being sarcastic.

This is London Fashion Week for Buddha's sake! This is when and where legendary collections are born.  And the best thing that House of Holland can come up with is tackiness?! I am livid. Seeing this collection parade on one of fashion's biggest stage when there are so many striving fashion designers out there with the talent and creativity that can rival top designers but are not given the opportunity to show there craft due to lack of funding just angers me. The collection is uninspired and wouldn't have been missed if House of Holland decided not to show for London Fashion Week. Redemption is due on their next collection(s).

One thing for sure, House of Holland design duo Henry Holland and Aggy Deyn love their bright colors which I totally respect them for. Remember their paint swatches inspired Fall 2009 RTW Collection? From something that seemed uninspired to something totally glam like this All Over Petal dress and skirt shows that they are very talented. The design is fun, flirty and youthful but yet sophisticated.
I particularly love the bright yellow skirt. Pair it with a off-white sequined tank top and Christian Louboutin Gino Sandal or Dillian Flower Pump. You would look so chic and very irresistible. And definitely summer ready!

House of Holland design duo Henry Holland and Aggy Deyn surely got some attention with the color scheme chosen for their Fall 2009 RTW Collection. Models walked down the runway wearing designs inspired by color swatches. It was like Color Theory 101 all over again.

I was entertained until a male model came out wearing only a button-up, long sleeve shirt! Pantyhose would''ve been nice if shaving his legs wasn't an option. Judging by the haircut he was sporting and the missing trousers, someone was busy shopping the half-off rack.
On a serious note, there are a couple of innovative and edgy pieces I liked... but the best thing of not one but two seasoned designers can come up with, is a collection inspired by strips of color swatches is disappointing! This is House of Holland's collection and not House of Pantone.
