Biography - Nick Holland
Holland Esquire is the product of life long tailor Nick
Holland. Having grown up alongside the industry, his dad was an influential
tailor in the 70's, Hollands education in tailoring came predominantly from
hands on experience, informing him of the workings and make up of his career
and passion.
This 'hands on' teaching and design has educated him of the
'boundaries' and constrictive complexities associated with traditional
tailoring. For Holland tailoring is a hand crafted experience that should be
evident in the final product, and it is his knowledge of the precise detailing
and challenges that goes into the construction of a suit that allows him to
find new development methods and aesthetics.
Hollands approach to design comes from re-interpreting the
challenges of tailoring each season and how he can break down and further
extend these boundaries. His technical hands on knowledge help him to consider
the build and construction of a suit and the details of the different
components that may have previously restricted its development. Traditionally
the complexities of mass production of suiting have been a constraint but
Holland now works with his production teams helping to re-educate the art of
tailoring into a fashion focus for a wider market.
Over recent years Nick was featured in the Britains Ten Best
Tailors Room at Harrods and was a founder director of Liam Gallagher's Pretty
Green Label where in their first year they won Drapers Menswear Label of the
year. Nick now continues to progress the innovative tailoring that has become
Holland Esquire's signature while acting as a consultant to worldwide fashion
brands.
