从2009年起智慧课堂为大家邀请来最出色的英国校友。此前智慧课堂邀请来的知名人物包括好莱坞传奇人物帕特里克•斯图尔特爵士教授（Sir Patrick Stewart），著名鞋类设计师Jimmy Choo、全球商业大亨查理德•布兰森爵士（Sir Richard Branson），还有英国探险达人马克•博蒙特（Mark Beaumont），英国著名设计师、世博会英国馆和奥运会开幕式主火炬设计者Thomas Headerwick。

此次演讲嘉宾奈简介：

亨利•霍兰德在设计界誉有“鬼才” 称号，其创立的前卫潮牌荷兰屋（House of Holland）设计风格大胆，在圈内独树一帜。他在传统英伦格子图案中注入新的活力，这种“年轻”的格子风情迅速风靡时尚界，并成为荷兰屋的招牌设计元素。刚刚落幕的2013春夏伦敦时装周上，“荷兰屋”用绚丽色彩，各种迷幻方格及印花诠释出的摩登英伦女孩充满自由活力和叛逆精神，兼具现代的浪漫情怀和摩登魅力，再次折服芳心无数。

亨利是当今英国时尚界最炙手可热的年轻设计师之一。他的得意之作——标识了“Fashion Groupie（疯潮人）”的标语T恤使他瞬间成为受时尚潮人顶礼膜拜的对象。他创立的品牌“荷兰屋”（House of Henry Holland）迅速进驻各大顶级时尚百货，如伦敦哈罗德（Harrods）、纽约巴尼斯（Barneys），更成为了许多明星和知名模特的御用设计师。凯蒂•佩里（Katy Perry），杰西•J（Jessie J） 和米娅（MIA）都是他的“粉丝”。米娅甚至穿着亨利设计的服装出席2009年格莱美颁奖礼。

然而，鲜有人知的是，亨利毕业于伦敦传媒学院（其前身为伦敦印刷学院）的新闻专业。在成为职业时装设计师之前，他曾为《teen Vogue》等时尚杂志做编辑工作，而正是由于他出色的文字功力，让亨利与时尚圈结下不解之缘。2007年夏季，亨利•霍兰德因好玩而设计的“标语T恤”（Slogan Tee）一举风靡时尚界。一句印有 “I'll tell you who's boss, Kate Moss”的标语T恤衫，让《Vogue》美国版主编 Anna Wintour 都对亨利•霍兰德另眼相看。伦敦最当红的先锋设计师 Gareth Pugh 和 Giles Deacon 在08年时装周上，也分别穿上亨利自创的设计师品牌荷兰屋 出品的“VHV Gareth Pugh”和“Get Your Freak On Giles Deacon”的标语T恤衫谢幕，让亨利备受瞩目。他迅速从一个时尚记者成长为英国最受推崇的时装设计师之一。被誉为“It Girl”英伦超模阿格妮丝•迪恩（Agyness Deyn）也被亨利的才华所折服，与之成为好友兼搭档，两人频繁以标新立异的超前造型出现在公众视野。

演讲主题：

“智慧课堂”现场，亨利•霍兰德将带大家领略他个性鲜明、充满诙谐的设计王国，分享自己的创意和灵感，畅谈自己如何从一名新闻专业的学生蜕变为国际一线时尚设计师的成长之路。

Introduction

Henry Holland is one of the UK’s coolest and most exciting young designers, having gone from working for teen magazines as a fashion editor to becoming a big name on the international fashion scene. Today, Holland discusses his inspirations and influences, talking about how his time at university shaped his career in fashion and how he went from writing about fashion to creating it.

About Henry Holland

Flung into the spotlight with his cheeky ’Fashion Groupie‘ slogan tee-shirt, Holland launched his own brand and has designed for celebrities as well as appeared in several fashion television programmes.

It was his simple slogan tee-shirt that was worn by designer Gareth Pugh in 2006 that drew the fashion industry’s attention to Holland. The huge popularity of the shirts enabled him to launch his own label called House of Holland, which now can be found in top-end fashion stores such as Harrods in London and Barneys in New York.

Born near Manchester, Holland graduated from London College of Printing with a BA in Journalism. His first foray into the world of fashion was as an editor at a teen fashion magazine. After establishing his own brand following the success of his tee-shirts, Holland has gone on to collaborate with many leading fashion suppliers and other companies, such as Levi’s, Debenhams, Swarovski and Blackberry. These deals enable Henry to boast his companies brand and attract more customers.

Holland’s collection debuted in 2007 and has now grown into an international operation, shipping to 20 countries and attracting a celebrity following including Katy Perry, Jessie J and MIA, who wore one of Holland’s outfits at the 2009 Grammy awards. House of Holland has become a regular feature at London Fashion Week and this year marks his 12th runway show.

Holland is well known for his long-time stylish celebrity friends who he is often photographed with out and about in London. Most recently, Holland has appeared on British television screens alongside popstar Rihanna in the reality programmeStyled to Rock. The programme focuses on fashion design and sees new designers competing against each other to create outfits to be worn by some of the most famous stars on the planet. Holland has big plans for his brand and is looking to take his bold designs and bright colours to a global level.
