In 2018, Steven Mark Klein gifted his entire collection of fashion-related printed matter, which he had started in 1975, to his mentee Elise By Olsen so that she could take care of its preservation. As a result, the ILFR opened its doors to the public on the 29th November 2022 in Oslo, Norway. It now exists as both a physical destination and a free, globally accessible digital resource for fashion researchers, industry professionals and amateur enthusiasts.

GOODBYE, CASTRO

I was brought up by spiritual parents and we often discussed death as being a natural part of life – needing to make it our mission to continue growing and evolving until our last breath. So, in spite of the sadness of losing Castro, it comforts me to think that he died evolving and at peace.

GOODBYE, CASTRO
