PIG&HEN handmade in Amsterdam

bob5bob4 bob6bobbob3Drop the anchor! Pig&Hen just released their brand new Fall / Winter 2015 collection. And I can say that some great new features are added to the family. Pig&Hen is handmade in Amsterdam, using authentic ship rope and a strong shackle. And the best thing; they are meant to survive a lifetime, are stronger than steel and will age like your wrinkled face.

We are so glad to announce our Fall / Winter 2015 collection and this year it is better than ever. A lot of trendy colors and new gold color shackles. Using our friend Bob as our model and having the best team to capture our vision, it turned out damn good.

The beautiful and popular show of Karl Lagerfeld for the new collection of Chanel. The runway turned into a paper jungle with gardeners wearing straw hats, khaki pants and holding waterless cans. The extraordinary fabrics only Chanel can create. Ofcourse the famous tweeds are recreated with embroidered hand stitching and the familiar suits rejuvenated by slicing the jackets and the skirt tops to leave a patch of bare skin. The designs have delicate and light floral or sorbet colours.

After showing the block-colour wool/tweed suits with A-line skirts with long jackets, Chanel introduced a new line; narrow and just under the hips with a thin fabric belt with a long loop. Also wearing flat leather boots and delicate crop-tops.

Flowers were everywhere, creating a fairytale fashion show. The hems, shoulders to the arm warmers of tulle and decorations in the hair.
