Nordens Paris

This book by fashion journalist Susanna Strömquist about the french couture atelier at department store Nordiska Kompaniet 1902–1966, is the result of extensive research in NK’s archive at Nordiska museet, through interviews and close studies of garments in the archives of Chanel, Dior, Balenciaga and others. The book tells the story of the leading establishment for women’s fashion in the Nordic countries during the golden age of haute couture, with newly photographed images of the garments and never before seen black-and-white fashion images from Nordiska museet’s archives.
