In our globalised world, many people are searching for their roots. In some places – such as the North Frisian Islands – the feeling of knowing where you come from goes hand in hand with wearing traditional costumes, which were once a sign of regional and social affiliation. Based on 19th-century works from the Kunst der Westküste collection, 14 contemporary positions from Hendrik Kerstens to Vivienne Westwood bridge the gap to contemporary art and current fashion design.
