"The time for Scandinavian clothing has come because the elements present in the designers' collections are highly in tune with the way we live and work today."—Dorothea Gundtoft Scandinavian furniture and architecture have long held sway in the global design sphere, and Scandinavian fashion is now gaining the same influence. The appeal lies in the simplicity, minimalism, attention to detail, and high quality of materials so iconic to Scandinavian design, as well as a commitment to sustainable and ethical production methods. Heralding a new movement in fashion, this book features over fifty notable designers from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, and Finland. These include well-established designers at brands such as Acne, DAY Birger et Mikkelsen, and Marimekko, as well as up-and-coming labels such as Ann-Sofie Back, Peter Jensen, and Soulland. From the sharp tailoring of COS and the gothic creations of Camilla Stark to the understated collections by the Icelandic sisters behind the Kalda label, all demonstrate a dedication to wearable fashion and a cool and refined style. Interviews with the designers cover training, sources of inspiration, and manufacturing methods.

""Scandinavia What?"" unravels the fascinating transformation of Nordic countries from Viking strongholds to bastions of social democracy and innovation. This comprehensive exploration delves into the evolution of Scandinavian political systems, the development of their renowned welfare states, and their emergence as global leaders in technology and sustainability. The book argues that a unique blend of political stability, social cohesion, and economic pragmatism has enabled these nations to navigate modern challenges with remarkable success. Structured chronologically, the book traces Scandinavia's journey from the early 20th century to the present day, examining how these countries established comprehensive welfare systems and adapted to globalization. It highlights intriguing facts, such as how Scandinavian nations have consistently ranked among the happiest and most equitable societies globally, while also becoming pioneers in environmental policy and digital innovation. The author's balanced approach avoids romanticization, instead offering a nuanced analysis of the region's strengths and challenges. Drawing on a rich tapestry of historical documents, economic data, and interviews, ""Scandinavia What?"" provides valuable insights for students, policymakers, and general readers alike. By exploring the Nordic model's successes and ongoing debates about its sustainability, the book offers practical lessons that could be adapted to address global issues such as inequality, climate change, and technological disruption.

Dress helps us fashion identity, history, community, and place. Dress has been harnessed as a metaphor for both progress and stability, the exotic and the utopian, oppression and freedom, belonging and resistance. Dressing with Purpose examines three Scandinavian dress traditions—Swedish folkdräkt, Norwegian bunad, and Sámi gákti—and traces their development during two centuries of social and political change across northern Europe. By the 20th century, many in Sweden worried about the ravages of industrialization, urbanization, and emigration on traditional ways of life. Norway was gripped in a struggle for national independence. Indigenous Sámi communities—artificially divided by national borders and long resisting colonial control—rose up in protests that demanded political recognition and sparked cultural renewal. Within this context of European nation-building, colonial expansion, and Indigenous activism, traditional dress took on special meaning as folk, national, or ethnic minority costumes—complex categories that deserve reexamination today. Through lavishly illustrated and richly detailed case studies, Dressing with Purpose introduces readers to individuals who adapt and revitalize dress traditions to articulate who they are, proclaim personal values and group allegiances, strive for sartorial excellence, reflect critically on the past, and ultimately, reshape the societies they live in.

Nordic countries are frequently listed as having the highest quality of life worldwide, according to multiple studies. But Northern Europe doesn't just score high in social issues. Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark are known for their spectacular fjords, untouched nature, and their clean interiors. Scandinavian-style interiors exude a classically modern elegance, boasting both innovation and the highest standards of comfort. Lighting and a deeply rooted connection to nature play just as much a role in the spaces as do intense colors and graphic design. This newest addition to the Living in Style series displays the Scandinavian lifestyle at its best.
