Official visit from HKH Crown Princess Mette-Marit

Friday, January 24, 2025 – 11:00–Friday, January 24, 2025 – 12:00

We would like to express our gratitude to Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Mette-Marit, accompanied by the town of Oslo’s mayor Anne Lindboe, for a lovely visit to the International Library of Fashion Research today. An avid magazine collector herself, the Crown Princess took the initiative to explore our large and specialized collection of fashion-related print materials. She also got to learn more about our new research project on mapping contemporary Norwegian and Sámi fashion histories, that ultimately will result in a dedicated part of our archive. We are honoured to hear that the Crown Princess recognizes our continuous work to archive, preserve and mediate fashion’s printed matter — and to cherish it for the future.
