On January 24, 2025, Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway visited the International Library of Fashion Research (ILFR) in Oslo. The ILFR is a nonprofit specialist library, a meeting place, and a research center dedicated to fashion. Upon her arrival, the Crown Princess was welcomed by founder Elise By Olsen and ILFR’s Head of Communications, Else Skålvoll Thorenfeldt.
During her visit, the Crown Princess explored the library’s extensive collection of fashion-related artifacts, including catalogs, press releases, invitations, and other promotional materials. The collection comprises over 15,000 physical objects and printed materials, such as books, magazines, and historical documents dating from the 1970s to the present.
The International Library of Fashion Research was founded by Norwegian editor Elise By Olsen in 2020, following her inheritance of the personal collection of the late American Steven Mark Klein. The library officially opened its doors in November 2022 and has since become a key hub for both local and international creative industries.
Not a terrible outfit but I feel like she could have been more fashionable for going to a fashion research library lol
Ah yes the most innocuous visit she could make. Gets her some easy innocent press and photos so it doesn’t look like she’s in hiding because she has nothing to hide right?
TIL there’s an International Library of Fashion Research!
