la maison hollington

At the end of the 1950s, Patric Hollington settles down in Paris once and for all. This aesthete of Irish descent is fascinated by architecture and opera, Bauhaus and jazz, Scandinavian design and Russian music – and by any art that arouses his curiosity. In turns a secret agent, a journalist, a talent finder for a textile buying office, he eventually joins forces with designer Michel Schreiber. Together, they reinvent the codes of male elegance and wardrobe. They liberate men from the suit-and-tie constraint without depriving them of a refined distinction. In 1974, Patric Hollington decides to stand on his own two feet and launches the brand that bears his name by opening his store in the heart of the Left Bank.

 

 

An elegance that resists time and trends
 

The man who dresses at hollington comes to seek this timeless elegance, which underlines and accompanies his personality, which resists fashion. Wearing hollington clothes also means being noticed, looked at, and sometimes examined: you will be dressed in a special way without upsetting all the codes of masculine chic. Thus, our customers often practice a public activity: architect, artist, professor ... They are "personalities" in the first sense of the term; they want to stand out without lacking in taste.
