| The Lions of Fashion Although compiled in conjunction with the exhibition "The Lions of Fashion", this book has been designed to remain useful long after the exhibition closes. The book was edited and most articles and descriptions of exhibits written, by Lena Rangström, First keeper of the Royal Armoury. A formidable amount of scholarship went into the making of it, including the first everwide-ranging, comparative study of men´s costumes in the Royal Armoury.The result is a prime example of the way in which thourough historical research , with theory and practice going hand in hand together, can generate new knovledge and relate points of details to a wider context. |
