Nordic Fashion Biennale 2011

If you're in Seattle and love fashion, art films, & the general juxtaposition of modernity and history, then run to see Looking Back to Find Our Future at the Nordic Fashion Biennale which is ending November 13, 2011 at the Nordic Heritage Museum in Ballard. Put on in conjunction with the Nordic House, Reykjavik, Iceland, this fabulous experience was curated by Hrafnhildur Arnardottir. I loved every minute of it-- from the easily wearable to the Avant-garde. Spot the clothing throughout the museum; some of which are arranged so secretly as to surprise and amuse you!

Still from a gorgeous art film.

Thank you to all of the designers for sending your remarkable garments all of the way to Seattle! It's a beautiful and highly varied show that features a multitude of talent. The Norwegian and Swedish parts of me are thrilled to be Nordic, too!

For the sake of getting the news out for people to see it during these last few days, I rushed this post -- including pictures and links to the main sites only. If anyone wants information on certain pieces, please let me know!   I look forward to the next show in 2 years... How about you?!  Enjoy!
