Take That drop their House of Holland trousers on stage at their Circus tour

HENRY HOLLAND, designer, personality and London It-boy, has added another string to his bow in the past week - becoming the go-to man for music's biggest names when it comes to costumes.

"Luke Day who styles Take That - and did the tour - asked if we had any left over tartan he could use for some costumes," Holland told VOGUE.COM. "They had the pieces made to fit in with the show and it was just using our special house tartan fabric. There were two jackets and two trousers."

In addition to his call for Take That, Holland was also enlisted by young pop starlet Little Boots to create a costume for her Glastonbury set. Based on his acclaimed striped autumn/winter 2009-10 collection the costume was created in association with Pretty Polly and Swarovski, who supplied a much needed sparkle for the stage outfit.

"Working with Swarovski adds a new dimension to my collection and completely transforms the clothing - this dress looks completely different when applied with crystal, then once under the light on stage, it's just incredible," Holland explained. "Swarovski have so much to choose from; as my show was all about simple colour blocks, I chose the cleanest and chunkiest shapes in colours that correspond with the wool underneath."

Holland attended the Take That concert - to see his tartan on stage and was delighted with the end result.

"I loved the show; it was the biggest gig I have ever been to and was spectacular!"

James Morrison - Please don't stop the rain

Музыканты, воссоединившиеся без своего самого известного участника Уильямса, уже дали первые концерты в фирменных костюмах от Генри Холланда, приведя поклонников и, в особенности, многочисленных поклонниц в бурный восторг.

Сам дизайнер наблюдал за одним из шоу и остался очень доволен результатом работы. «Каждый из участников квартета был одет в пиджак и брюки из яркой клетки. Мы дополнили их костюмы веселыми жилетами и двуцветными круглыми шляпами, - рассказал модельер. - По-моему, получилось очень артистично!».

На самом деле, музыканты Take That в этих лицедейских одеяниях больше всего походили на группу клоунов-любителей, однако живая музыка и драйв увлекательного шоу добавили их образам фирменного «холландского» настроения.

По идее, это у Джея должны были штаны лопнуть!

It was way back in Spring when the phone started to ring. We wanted to get the shiny new V-Piano in front of Gary Barlow: singer, song writer, and architect of the biggest comeback since Halley’s Comet. Tough call though, what with Gary climbing mountains, hurting his back en-route then doing promo for the recently-released Circus album and rehearsals for the biggest UK tour in history, with a paltry 1.08 million people seeing the band.

The chance came when we were invited to Sunderland to show Gary the V-Piano before the first preview gig, scheduled for the night before the tour began. We dutifully set the V-Piano up in a small dressing room and Gary - along with band member Mark Owen and Gary’s protégé Gary Go - powered up the mighty V-Piano. Keys were played, bumps were goosed, glances exchanged and judgements made: Gary ordered the V-Piano to be hauled on stage, replacing the incumbent Yamaha keyboard. Aiding the techs, we carried the V-Piano onto the huge stage and the sound checking began. Fast forward to the present and Gary has used the V-Piano every night on the tour and now wants one for his studio to record with – praise indeed from the songwriter’s songwriter.

Watch out for the DVD along with footage of the acoustic set at Air Studios where the V-Piano will be used in a more intimate environment.

Event Prop Hire was proud to supply a number of Circus themed props for the backstage dressing room of Take That.

In the Radio One video interview between the band and Chris Moyles, a number of our circus themed silhouette panels can be seen.

Later in the video, Chris can be seen leaning against our Circus Baby Elephant on plinth whilst Comedy Dave and Gary Barlow tinker on the piano.
