Fur—An Issue of Life and Death
Fur speaks to our senses—it is beautiful to look at, soft to touch, and warm. Today, fur clothing is not necessary to keep out the cold and wind. We have other materials. And synthetic fur is an al

Vanity Fair? Understanding Contemporary Links between Fashion, Museum and Nation
In this paper, fashion is analyzed as a complex system that synthesizes the provision of clothes with the production of symbolic value. Through a case study of Denmark, I question contemporary links between fashion, museum and nation, and introduce the concepts of “fashion nation” and “fashion museology”. I argue that the museum’s and nation’s longing for newness, appeal to attention, and adaptation to the commercial market do not merely constitu…
From Design Nations to Fashion Nations? Unpacking Contemporary Scandinavian Fashion Dreams
To many people, the link between Scandinavia and design is still a familiar story of functionalism and the social democratic welfare states of the twentieth century. But until recently the Scandinavian countries—Denmark, Norway, and Sweden—had not sought to connect themselves with fashion design. This, however, has changed since the turn of the millennium. Present-day government institutions, industry organizations, fashion media, and industry fo…
Catwalking the Nation
This article discusses the mobilization of the nation for fashion, based on how the relationship between fashion and nation unfolds in the case of fashion design practice and the fashion industry in Denmark. The otherwise globalized fashion industry is equally involved in what I term 'catwalking the nation,' both as a way to construct a cosmopolitan nationalist discourse for the post-industrial nation and as a strategy for local fashion industrie…
Translating Fashion into Danish
With their association to enterprise and innovation, creative industries have emerged as a legitimate concern in national cultural and economical policy in many countries across the world. In Denmark, the fashion business, in particular, has been hailed as a model for successful (post)industrial transformation. In this paper, we explore the birth of Danish fashion from the ashes of the country's clothing manufacturing industry, suggesting that th…
“Doing” Danish Fashion
The Dutch dress and fashion researcher José Teunissen has stated that a new tendency in the fashion industry is the interrelationship of global fashion and local tradition. In the Danish case this has meant an increasing interest in identifying the national identity of fashion design in Denmark over the last five to ten years.Based on a practice perspective evoked by poststructuralist actor-network theory (ANT), this article asks: how are fashion…

Mode på mode på museerne! Om nye tendenser og udstillingsmåder
Det sker i England i særdeleshed, men tendensen er også at finde i det øvrige Europa og Nordamerika. At udstille, indsamle, bevare og forske i mode (tøj) er blevet et populært og udbredt fænomen blandt både kunst- og kulturhistoriske museer. Udviklingen giver anledning til at spørge, hvilken plads tildeles moden på museerne? Hvorfor sker det netop nu? I hvilken retning går udviklingen? Det er spørgsmål, som tages op i denne artikel, hvor også en …
