Rachel Marie Walsh reports on Henry Holland's 'Fash Bash' at Movida, London

Henry Holland of House of Holland definitely knows how to get a party started. Wednesday night was the second of his monthly ‘Fash Bash’ club nights at Movida in west London.While his March party attracted tabloid favourites like Pixie Geldof and Coleen McLaughlin, the April crowd was hardcore fashion. The reason? A DJ spin-fest courtesy of the lovely UK Vogue ladies and the beautiful people that bring you Dazed and Confused magazine. The Movida dance floor shook to the sounds of chic girls and cool boys blasting their favourite tunes, which included everything from vintage Spice Girls to the latest from Madonna’s Hard Candy. The walls were adorned with life-size cut-outs of Henry’s model mates Coco Rocha and Agyness Deyn, both wearing clothes from his Autumn/Winter 2008 collection. On the decks were Vogue’s Emma Elwick, Jaime Perlman, Rebecca Mason and Aimee Farrell, followed by Dazed and Confused’s Senior Fashion Editor Nicola Formichetti. Henry also impressed with a turn in the booth.

On the floor were Holland’s pal Britpop star Sophie Ellis Bextor, who played DJ herself for a bit, and a host of Holland fans sporting plenty of bits and pieces from his Spring/Summer 2008 collection. Guests sipped ‘Very Voguette’ and ‘Deep Purple Dazed Invader’ cocktails with Ciroc Vodka.  It wouldn’t feel like a party if I didn’t play The Sartorialist’s advocate. Henry was gorgeous in bedroom slippers, channelling billionaire playboys Flavio Briatore and Hugh Hefner, and pyjama-like tartan pants from his own collection. Best outfit goes to Tolula Adeyemi, who looked adorable with an oversized blue tartan bow in her hair, peep-toe tartan heels and outfit from House of Holland Autumn/Winter collection 2008.
