I'm currently in a bit of a modern folk fashion mood so there's going to be a quite a bit of Embla-posting the next few days. I want to get more into the traditional stuff but it takes much longer to research so,,, it will arrive eventually. In the meantime you're getting a look into the riveting tale that is Marianne Lambersøy versus the Bunad Police

Article about Ahmed's bunad:

https://www.nrk.no/stor-oslo/norsk-sudanske-ahmed-umars-bunad-inspirerer-til-flerkulturelle-festdrakter-1.16880730

my other Bunad post is getting notes again, apparently this is something you guys find as interesting as I do, so here's another fun one:

the Sudanese-Norwegian visual Artist Ahmed Umar has created two outfits inspired by his multi-cultural heritage.

left: his own Bunad, which is both recognizeably from Hallingdal and Sudan (not sure what specific area though, the article I read didn't say).

right: a Sudanese Toub with fabrics and embroidery inspired by the late Queen Maud's bunad.

Absolutely stunning work, I really hope we get to see more like this

Traditional Norwegian hairstyle

Most commonly worn in the Agder region, south-west region of Norway. They are sadly going out of fashion so it's harder to find photos on it. However in the Setesdal region they are more common. I will post about the Setesdal hairstyle too:)

I really don't know where else to post this, I just want to share some personal pictures. Anyway this is my classic Vest-Telemark Bunad! I thought I'd share some inspiration for others who also might like the Norwegian folk dress. 🇳🇴✨

thanks for the suggestions! "how to wear bunad" tutorials could be really fun (and useful), I could start by covering the most popular types of bunad. how to fasten a bringeduk and where to place the silver are questions I see a lot :]

Sewing techniques are a litte outside my area of knowledge, but that's exactly why I made this blog, so I can research the parts of bunad I know little about! I will absolutely look into it

Filling up the queue with reblogs to buy myself some time to cook up the original posts. If you follow both me and the bunad tag you'll likely see some familiar posts again, but I promise the original stuff is on its way

Right now I'm working on a "History of the Bunad", "Bunad and Folk Costume Terminology Guide", and a series of posts about specific area traditions

I'm open to suggestions, feel free to comment or shoot a message my way if you have any questions or topics you'd like me to cover :3

Hallo!

Welcome to Bunad Daily!

This is a blog dedicated to making bunad resources available to the English speaking population.

I will be posting daily, both reblogs and original posts.

Since I am Norwegian and speak the language fluently, I have access to resources that aren't internationally available, and one of my favorite hobbies is to research niche topics. If you have any questions about Bunad, I will put my nerdiness to good use to track down the information you want :D
