The exhibition, presenting 10 Icelandic, Greenlandic and Faroese fashion designers, moves away from the conventional fashion world and its seasonal trends. Instead it focuses on the creativity and the factors influencing it – cultural identity, traditions, nature, landscapes, weather, as well as the Nordic innovative approach in creating sustainable fashion by using local resources. The exhibition will be supplemented with designers’ talks, where some of the artists will share their experiences on the role of the designer in creating sustainable fashion.

The exhibition was commissioned and produced by the Nordic House in Reykjavik (Iceland) and had its premiere in 2014 as the central piece of the 3rd Nordic Fashion Biennale that took place at Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt, Germany.

It has since been exhibited in Denmark, the Netherlands, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, USA, China, Sweden and Greenland. In 2019 the exhibition will be on show in Riga, Vilnius and Tallinn.

The exhibition will feature ten fashion designers fron the Nordic countries:

• Barbara I Gongini, Guðrun & Guðrun (the Faroe Islands);
• Bibi Chemnitz, Nikolaj Kristensen, Najannguaq Lennert (Greenland);
• STEiNUNN / Steinunn Sigurðardóttir, JÖR / Guðmundur Jörundsson, Kría, Mundi, Shoplifter a.k.a. Hrafnhildur Arnardóttir (Iceland).
