Europe's most exciting and groundbreaking fashion designers come from its Nordic countries, are well-connected in international networks, and enjoy impressive commercial success. When it comes to contemporary fashion design, the Nordic countries of Europe.

Known for their otherworldly, poetic and somewhat nostalgic imagery which frequently references the aesthetics of traditional 18th and 19th painting, in "The Weather Diaries" Sarah Cooper and Nina Gorfer have combined their unique photographic style with the sombre, and at times fantastical scenery of the North with moody yet undeniably wondrous results. The resulting portfolio showcases the works of both young and established Nordic designers and artists such as Mundi, Shoplifter, Jör By Guðmundur Jörundsson, Steinnun, Barbara í Gongini, Gudrun & Gudrun, Bibi Chemnitz, Nikolai Kristensen, and Najannguaq Davidsen Lennert, Kría, Jessie Kleeman and Rammatik. Additionally, the book, published by the Berlin-based Gestalten, also features a number of insightful essays on the Nordic Countries’ relationship with clothing and fashion, as well as a collection of interviews with the featured creatives. The titular weather diaries also feature in the book as a series of actual diary excerpts which date back to 1975. Written in a north Icelandic town Akureyri by Baldur Helgi Kristjánsson, the sparse yet personable memories are accompanied by a series of beautiful landscape photographs, again by Cooper & Gorfer.

Gestalten’s publication coincides with the same year’s edition of the Nordic Fashion Biennale {Norræna húsið} which will be held at the  Museum Angewandte Kunst in Frankfurt  and which Cooper & Gorfer have been invited to curate.
