How does Henry Holland get his iconic quiff?! And how does he stay relentlessly positive? These are just some of the questions we ask the legendary designer on today's episode of the pod.
We chat to Henry all about his incredible career, from creating House of Holland aged just 22, to his decision to sell his business and venture into a new domain: pottery. Plus, what's the weirdest collab he's been asked to do and which boy band did he lose out to?

What do Sam Smith, Adele, Mariah Carey and Beyoncé all have in common? They’ve all been dressed by the creative genius that is Harris Reed.
Harris has designed for all of the biggest LGBTQ+ icons in the world and is an ultimate trailblazer for gender fluidity. The day his tutors told him he would never be a successful designer was the day he was given the call-up to dress the one and only Harry Styles.
In this episode we discuss Harris’s journey with gender identity, including moving 27 times as a child in order to find a safe haven. Harris is truly inspirational, so this is not one to miss.

Listeners- why not add some queer poetry to your reading lists this January? Today we are thrilled to be joined by writer, journalist and model Otamere Guobadia. He is a regular contributor for the likes of Vogue and The Guardian, with his writing striking at the heart of issues that we battle with in every day life and within the LGBTQ+ community. Most excitingly, he’s published his debut poetry collection - Unutterable Visions, Perishable Breath'- it’s a beautiful exploration of queer love and desire - and in Otamere’s words, helping us to understand and process ‘the things we can’t define’.
