Holidays with Miss Piggy

MISS PIGGY, the muppet whose boasts of being a paragon of porcine pulchritude are always good for a chuckle, is getting the last laugh as the new face of Kate Spade New York.
The big-haired pig puppet with the dreamy eyelashes is the latest in a long line of famous figures to adorn items from the clothing-and-accessories brand’s holiday collections. 
She appears on a sweater, handbag, iPhone case, wristlet, clutch, tote, wallet, necklace, key chain and stud earrings, in a line inspired by “the spirit of disco”. Most of the items can be easily personalised for individualistic expression.
The prices range from Bt4,350 to Bt18,900 at leading department stores. 
Miss Piggy needs no introduction anywhere in the lnown universe, having been part of Jim Henson’s Muppet troupe that’s entertained film and television audiences for more than 60 years. 
For Kate Spade New York, Miss Piggy “continues to represent the very definition of an interesting, strong, independent, mesmerising, tantalising and irresistibly fabulous woman of this millennium – or any other”.
She’s a TV and film star, singer, dancer, best-selling author, fashion icon, supermodel and legendary diva, the firm points out. “She is powerful and feminine, and her curiosity, intelligence and strength are a natural fit for the brand. 
“Just like the Kate Spade New York woman, Miss Piggy is the star of her own show and thrives in the spotlight, where, dare we say, she has and always will belong.” 
The brand actually quotes Miss Piggy, though one might suspect that a spokesperson is at work behind the scenes.
“I’m experiencing a new freedom these days, taking chances, making decisions and of course inspiring all women to be like moi!” the puppet says. 
“With Kate Spade New York I can make an exciting lifestyle statement and a bold fashion statement at the same time. Tres fabuleux, n’est ce pas?”
