Henry Holland wants Nicki Minaj

Henry Holland would love to dress Nicki Minaj.

The British fashion designer already has a huge number of celebrity fans and friends including singer Cheryl Cole and supermodel Agyness Deyn, but he admits he would love to meet and dress the R&B star.

He said: "I would love to see Nicki Minaj wearing my clothes and would love to meet her."

However even though he is loved by celebrities, Henry is inspired by ordinary people when he is designing his collections and revealed he was pleasantly surprised with how welcoming the fashion industry has been to him.

He told the Metro newspaper: "People inspire me, whether it be people I know and love, people I work with or people I pass on the streets.

"Most of the people who work in the industry are lovely and willing to help people out. It is not the bi***hy, back-stabbing industry people make it out to me."

The 27-year-old sartorialist shot to fame with his signature slogan T-shirts and says he came up with the idea because he knew he could make them better than the ones he used to buy.

He explained: "I used to buy a lot of celebrity-based slogan T-shirts and I often used to laugh with my friends, saying I could do them myself.

"It became a running joke and, one evening when I was out with friends, I came up with the first four slogans relating to fashion designers."
