Salon Droog with Frozen Dutch

Frozen Dutch at Salon Droog a 
new way of building flavour with fun. 

Salon/1 : Freudenthal/Verhagen at the Montelbaans Toren

High up in a tower sits the work of Carmen Freudenthal (photographer) and Elle Verhagen (stylist). Both studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and have gone on to collaborate with fashion designers, performers and artists. Together Freudentha/Verhagen have broken down the constraints that come with fashion imagery and gone on to work with publications i-D, Dazed and Confused, Jalouse and worked with clients including Absolut Vodka, J&B and KesslsKramer...

Secret Garden is a foundation for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) Muslims. Established in Amsterdam, Secret Garden has been set up in December 1994, with the intention to reach and bring together young Muslims who are transgender, or have homosexual or bisexual feelings.
