Skater fashion is given a chic twist with the House of Holland Resort '16 Collection. Inspired by Peruvian aesthetics, this line is fun, flirty and an example of edgier high fashion.
Creative director Henry Holland sought out Peruvian skater girls as the inspiration for his latest collection. Crafting a line of street-inspired looks, Holland incorporated Peru's rich textiles and abundant use of vibrant colors and patterns. This collection features a wide range of garments, from sleeveless dresses to multicolored A-line skirts. Noteworthy items include tassel-adorned platforms and a two-piece set featuring an abstract print in neon, pink, green and blue. The outerwear ranges from a coat that's a bit too heavy for the season to a heat-treated bomber jacket adorned with a bold floral print.
This contemporary skater fashion is sure to build a bridge between skate culture and high fashion.
