COLLECTIVE SWALLOW – AW19 / 20

For Collection 05, Collective Swallow did dive into the heart of the Swiss cuisine and turned the classic tradition of „Metzgete“ into an autumn winter collection.

Metzgete is a typical Swiss feast, especially at a farm, of sausages and other meat from newly-slaughtered animals. A collection inspired by Autumn glow and dishes.

The rural dish is served in October when leaves turn golden and Swiss people go hiking. Collective Swallow turned the meaty dish as well as other Autumn specialities such as pumpkins, or sauerkraut into a variety of wearable garments.

For their fifth collection they not only took inspiration from food but also they included it into the creation process by dyeing fabrics with onion skins.

The collection will be showed in their showroom in Paris

from February 28th till March 2nd

Available from April 2019 at VALD Agency Paris Showroom
