Scandinavian Folklore is a book intended as a popular description and inspiration to everyone interested in old traditions and customs connected to the Nordic folk costumes. With more than 600 photos of both old garments as well as newly made it shows that costume traditions are seldom static and often influenced by fashion and the temperament of the wearer. The photographer Laila Durán has cooperated with private collectors and museums in presenting some of the traditional costumes from Sweden, Norway and Lappland. The pictures are showing everyday life as well as festivities and are set in the shifting seasons from the arctic north to the south of Scandinavia.
