Countess Marianne Bernadotte told on Thursday morning at the press meeting about her favorite designer Balmain.
- It was my husband who had met Balmain in Copenhagen. So when my father-in-law, the old king, turned 80, then I had to have a beautiful evening gown. So then Sigvard took me to Paris. And then I got to see everything beautiful, says Marianne Bernadotte among her outfits at Millesgården.
It was 1962, and Marianne Bernadotte had become fond of a orange dress, but Sigvard Bernadotte thought it was better with something more discreet to King Gustaf VI Adolf's celebration, so it became a cream-colored silk dress with a white mink stole.
- But Balmain sent the orange one too. Marianne had the same measurements as the models, says Stig Dahlin, who with his brother Bo Dahlin have picked out what clothes to be displayed at the exhibition.
- You want to have width. We have 56 dolls and would happily have had more, says Stig Dahlin.
Among the clothes are dresses worn at the Nobel banquet, royal christenings and weddings and are made from the early 60s to the present day. Many of the clothes come from Pierre Balmain, or Erik Mortensen, who took over the fashion house Balmain whenBalmain died.
Do you remember all the times you have been wearing these clothes?
- Some, but not quite all. One has of course favorites, says Marianne Bernadotte.

Svensk Damtidning published this week the interview of countess Marianne Bernadotte, done because of the exhibition "Chanel, Balmain, Dior Marianne Bernadotte – a style icon". The interview was done at Royal Djurgården.
Marianne says that it is fun with beautiful outfits, but she doesn't buy anything new now, she has everything she needs. It is fantastic to wear the outfits but it obligates, you have to do your best. Sigvard took her to fashion houses, before that she was as an actress most used to stage clothes. Sigvard died 15 years ago, Marianne still misses him every day.
To her 90th birthday Marianne ordered a dress from Pär Engsheden, who designed Victoria's wedding dress. The colour Marianne found when she cut a leek at her kitchen. She took the leek with her to Engsheden to show the light green shade she wanted. Marianne says that the likes green, it is a wonderful colour.
Victoria held a speech at the inauguration of the exhibition at Millesgården. A gesture which shows how much her father's aunt means to the family. Marianne smiles and says that she and Victoria are close and she thinks it was so sweet that Victoria wore queen Silvia's Chanel jacket at the inauguration. A wink to Marianne and the french fashion houses.
Marianne has made significant efforts for young people with reading and writing difficulties and contributed to the research on children's eye diseases. She suffered with her little brother who had difficulties in school as dyslexia was still an unknown concept and her little son's vision deteriorated drastically towards the end of his short life. Marianne puts herself in helping others and just as when she stood on stage, her driving force is huge. A philanthropist that reaches far out in the world.
