A study on early modern Scandinavian clothing, fashion and textile trade offers a better understanding of how international trade shaped Scandinavian cultures during the Renaissance.
TRADE (Global encounters: Fashion, culture and foreign trade in Scandinavia, 1500-1630) was an EU-funded project that investigated this using an array of methods from various disciplines. This included art and cultural history, archaeology, anthropology, economic and social history, and fashion theory. In addition to looking at these changes, it also explored how individuals' lives were transformed as a result.
