Women’s trousers
1980s | Ole Hertz
Short trousers made of brown sealskin, artfully decorated with multicoloured leather strips and pink bands, characterize the appearance of traditional Inuk women’s clothing in Greenland. They are worn with hip-high boots, which are often decorated with white lace on a red background. The tops are made of coloured wool fabric and black fur, with magnificent, wide standing collars and sleeve cuffs made of colorful glass beads.
