I hope you have all had a great Christmas & here’s wishing you all the best for 2011!!!
The HC team are all now back in the studio after a well deserved Christmas break, and we are all getting rather excited about what awaits us in the year ahead.
Last year saw Holland Cooper reach new heights. We had a fabulous time at all our usual trade shows meeting new people and catching up with so many familiar faces, which is always a treat. Highlights from the shows include selling out of Prince of Wales Jackets at Badminton, the launch of Holland Cooper Brett at Polo in the Park, winning best trot up outfit with Laura Collett at Burghley, and of course our On Tour Hoodies!
As a designer I love change and was excited for the revamp of the Holland Cooper site in April last year. The new fresh site has proved very popular with customers and clients alike and has bought many fascinating ventures into our path. Namely our launch into selected boutiques across the country, I have enjoyed attending launch parties and witnessing the exclusively designed collections flying off the shelves.
2010 also saw Holland Cooper’s debut into living rooms nationwide with an appearance on Britain’s Next Top Model where we dressed models for their first shoot. We have also been spotted on reality tv show Come Dine With Me and Saturday nights prime time dating show Take me Out.
I feel overwhelmed at how far Holland Cooper has come in such a short time but don’t have much time to sit and reflect as we are already busy planning how to make 2011 even better!!
As I write this I sit amongst the freshly delivered 2011 tweeds, the formation of the new collection which has been pinned and unpinned with swatches til I find perfection and an excited, busy team brainstorming ideas and planning the year ahead……I already get goosebumps thinking about the launch of the new collection at Badminton, as revealing the collection is always my personal highlight.
