Kaftans and Kimonos that Capture the Zeitgeist. Financial Times How to Spend It
A while ago, Holland Street was featured in Financial Times How to Spend It, the magazine celebrated for spotlighting the very best in global luxury and style.
The article highlighted our bold printed silk kaftans and kimonos—modern British‑made masterpieces that embody hand‑drawn artistry and expressive design. Though the feature was published some time ago, its recognition continues to affirm Holland Street’s place among leading names in fashion and lifestyle. It marked a turning point in our journey—one that still inspires our commitment to expressive design, luxury craftsmanship, and joyful self‑expression. The featured design, The Pink Camellia kaftan is our number 1 best seller.
Founder Lauren Barfoot, a Royal College of Art graduate and former head of print with Zandra Rhodes, was praised for her innovative approach to print. By rejecting repetitive block patterns and instead engineering motifs to flow naturally around the body, Lauren transformed kaftans and kimonos into living canvases.
Holland Street remains dedicated to creating pieces that feel timeless yet contemporary, empowering wearers to celebrate their individuality with confidence.
