EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Woman wearing Sami costume - Inga Åren, Frostviken, Lapland, 1870-1898," is a stunning hand-coloured studio portrait by renowned Swedish ethnographer and photographer, Helene Edlund. The image transports us back in time to the late 19th century, specifically the 1880s and 1890s, in the northernmost region of Sweden, Lapland. The young woman in the photograph, Inga Åren, is dressed in a traditional Sami costume, a vibrant and intricately designed attire that reflects the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous Sami people. The costume consists of a full-length, hand-tinted dress made of rich blue fabric, adorned with colorful patterns and decorative elements. A matching hat with a tall tassel sits atop her head, while a shawl is draped around her shoulders. The woman stands confidently with one hand on her hip, her posture exuding a sense of pride and self-assurance. The background of the photograph features a rocky landscape, adding to the sense of rugged, untouched beauty of the region. Helene Edlund, a pioneer in the fields of anthropology and ethnography, captured this image as part of her extensive documentation of the Sami people and their traditional clothing. The photograph is now part of the Nordic Museum Foundation's collection in Sweden, providing a valuable insight into the clothing and fashion of the time, as well as the cultural heritage of the Sami people. This image is a testament to the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse cultural traditions and histories of different communities, and serves as a reminder of the rich and vibrant heritage that continues to influence fashion and design to this day.
