Her Royal Highness Princess Marie yesterday presided over the opening of the exhibition Tapisseries royales: Savoir-faire français et tapisseries contemporaines danoises in the newly renovated Grand Palais in the heart of Paris. With her speech and presence, the Princess marked the opening of the Royal Collection's first exhibition outside Denmark. The exhibition, which unites Danish contemporary art with French weaving art, is the result of an eight-year collaboration between the Danish artists Tal R, Kirstine Roepstorff, Alexander Tovborg and Bjørn Nørgaard and French weavers supported by the New Carlsberg Foundation. After the official opening, Princess Marie attended a gala dinner where she represented Denmark among guests such as the French Minister of Culture Rachida Dati, Director of Mobilier national Hervé le Moine, Director of the Grand Palais Didier Fusilier, and Director of the Royal Collection Thomas C. Thulstrup. The exhibition, which shows 15 newly woven tapestries created for Koldinghus, is among the first to be presented in the Grand Palais after the extensive restoration.

It's nice to see the entire family turn out for the Danish Christmas Bazaar in Washington DC.

 

[Muhler]

It is.
The photo where Marie is posing with three gentlemen in traditional attire is nice. They are Danish local costumes (we don't have a national costume) from various parts of DK. They were fashion for more affluent peasants and of course farmers around 1700 +/- 25 years and something they would indeed wear on special days or to market. It showed your status and wealth, because shoe buckles and buttons were made from silver and in a pinch they could be used as payment.
Their red knitted caps are not nissehuer (knitted caps worn by Santa's helpers in DK at least. See Christmas threads.) but practical, warm and easy to make headgear.
The patterns on their clothes were part local tradition but also a way of showing off. It wasn't nearly as intricate as what the local lord would wear, but they tried to emulate him within their means.
Anyway, when you saw such a man you could immediately figure out where he lived almost down to the individual parish and that was before he opened his mouth. - Which may not have been that much help, because dialects were much more pronounced back then and people from different parts of DK would often have difficulties understanding each other. That really didn't change until general conscription, the high schools (formative schools) for adults and the industrialization from the mid 1800s.
Anyway these uniform dress also had the practical function of you being able to spot someone from your part of the country in a crowd and that meant you could hang out, or find a travel/lodging companion if you say ventured to Copenhagen, which was big, noisy, crowded and full of all sorts of people, speaking all sorts of languages and dialects and you came from a part of the realm where the nearest merchant town had perhaps 1.500 inhabitants. Copenhagen being 100 times as big.

Princess Marie was exactly the right person for Prince Joachim… A calming and stabilizing force for his sometimes grumpy and hot tempered personality… A bridge-builder to Prince Joachims occasionally sore and complicated contact with the rest of the family… And a fantastic addition to the Danish RF overall…

I was impressed by her already in 2008 and i still is…
