How To Spent It- The Financial Times

Luxury loungewear brand Holland Street is the print pioneer turning classic floral kaftans and kimonos into modern British-made masterpieces, featuring bold hand-drawn designs on 100 per cent crepe de Chine silk. Founder Lauren Barfoot, a Royal College of Art graduate who previously worked for Zandra Rhodes, is passionate about the design technique she champions, banishing repetitive block prints and instead “hand drawing and engineering motifs to flow around the body”, she says. “Robes and kimonos are the perfect large canvas.” And due to the sumptuous excess of fabric, each robe can take on many variations, depending on how it is folded and tied by the wearer.
