“Fashion is one of our most significant cultural artefacts,“ says Elise By Olsen as the International Library of Fashion Research opens in Oslo with an exhibition dedicated to the oft-overlooked press release
, which hosts a selection of rare fashion press releases and promotional text, and is co-curated by By Olsen and California-based curator and critic. “Fashion is one of our most significant cultural artefacts – an expression of our values and fascinations, and an impression of a moment in time with social, political, and economic dimensions,” By Olsen tells AnOther.
It was through this impetus that By Olsen decided to open her own library, cultivating and hosting a treasure trove of printed matter – magazines, photo books, lookbooks, and much more, dating from the 1970s to today. Most of the library’s collection was gifted by her mentor Steven Mark Klein who passed away in Manhattan last year, where he worked as a cultural theorist and fashion archivist, cultivating a rich archive from his 70 years.Photography by Magnus Gulliksen.
