In this age of Nuclear Wintour prettiness, I'm kinda enjoying the free-wheelin' fugness of it all.

i don't think any of it is that bad. none of these people (except henry and maybe pixie) are 'fashion' insiders as far as i know. they're having fun! whats the problem

@hatepaperdoll:

Yes, totally. There's no CONTEXT.

Although, I was a shameless mod, ripping off 1960's style in the 1980's so I can't really talk about it myself. Heh.

My best gay briefly had a bit of a thing with Henry Holland back before he was Henry Holland. Now I can't open a magazine without him telling me this. Or go on the internet, it seems.

Huh. Turns out I recognize Gary Card from the "London Calling" issue of Nylon (yes, I know I'm admitting I read Nylon). He had a purple velvet suit and was kind of adorable. I'd have champagne with him.

Is it just me or does that Henry Holland look pretty simian with those arms? What he's wearing is an insult to simians.
And I like that Bishi, voluptuous pity about what she dragged herself into.
They all look like they are trying SO HARD!

You can't just rip off outfits that you saw people wearing in an documetary about The Danceteria and pretend your being edgy. They actually made up their own style, YOU DIDN'T arrrrgh.....

@cuteasabutton: My finest moment ever was seeing a girl in 93 Feet East wearing the some gold and rhinestone orthapaedic meets street walker shoes ..which I had recently managed to flog to her for £30 on Ebay.

I just couldn't stop myself going up and saying 'I love your shoes'...

this is why I stay away from Shoreditch these days. I can't help myself...I like to dress them up like Pretentious Barbie and then mock them from the safety of the bar...

while henry holland is by no means high fashion, he and his friends still somewhat pushing boundaries, which is what we need if you want it to trickle down to your very safe party dresses. It's not my style, but i'm not going to knock it. Can we talk about something else please.

anniehall — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 10:50:50 EDT

something about the "house of holland" backdrop with the label printed 10000 times makes the photos more dizzying than i think they really are! gotta love some wackiness here... though i have to say, agyness deyn (mentioned as holland's bff and muse)? i just don't get it. maybe i'm missing something.

Ridiculous pose aside, Pixie Geldof looks cute and genuinely cheerful, which is something you rarely see in party photos.

Also, her old man wrote "Do They Know It's Christmas?" which is my favorite Christmas song ever.
