Spotlight on the significance of “dress” – traditional, trendy, practical or defiant – in a variety of different countries and cultures. Dress is like a visual indicator of social habits and national identity:

Our collection offers a novel way of understanding our fellow inhabitants on this planet, their history and cultural background, by decoding the way they dress, without forgetting headdress, footwear, ornaments or even make-up, hairstyle, tattoo or assorted accessories.
By decoding the sartorial habits in many countries (without being too serious or “scientific” about it), we take the viewer on a journey to discover the unusual, the unexpected and the surprising.
Collection Editor: Sonia Kronlund.
