Benzak Denim Developers (BDD) 2013 Collection – Sneak Preview

Lennaert Nijgh from Benzak Denim Developers (BDD) recently took us through a preview of his new 2013 Fall/Winter collection, which should be released this coming August. This collection is based on three different cuts, the BDD-006, BDD-047 and BDD-071; each of which is presented individually below.

Since Nijgh finished his education at the Asmterdam Fashion Institute, he has been collecting experience working at denim stores as well as more recently in product development for a handful Dutch brands. Now feeling ripe for this new challenge, Nijgh is confident in his abilities as he launches his new collection. As he says, “I don’t create fashion. Instead, I create timeless products.” Let’s see.
