From quarks to costumes. The Norwegian National Opera in Oslo had a costume sale today. A rare event \u2013 the last one I went to was 15 years ago, thought I think I might have missed one in the middle there. A great event \u2013 this is top-notch sustainability. High-quality, beautifully crafted costumes sold to be reused by amateur theatre-groups who otherwise could never afford these type of costumes. And a lot of private buyers too, looking for that extra-ordinary outfit for a carnival or Halloween. All the costumes now get a new life!<\/p>\n

The house itself is stunning, designed by Sn\u00f8hetta Architects. It is all in white marble and glass on the outside and birch on the inside, resembling a floating ice-berg, as it slopes into the fjord.<\/p>\n

I knew it was going to be popular, so I came early, and was one of the first hundred lucky souls to get in. So much to choose from!<\/p>\n

My main task was to find costumes I could use for Peter Pan in January, and I think I found some \ud83d\ude42&amp;nbsp;Including some incredibly cool boots for the pirates!<\/p>\n

After I hauled it all back to the hotel, I went fabric-shopping. Wool, silks and linen. Whenever I go into a fabric-shop, I always become so inspired \u2013 I want to start sewing straight away.<\/p>\n

Lucky me, got to have lunch with two of my former students, who both are\/have worked at the costume-department at the Opera. Three other former students of mine also work\/have worked there, and I am so incredibly proud of them! They are super-talented tailors\/pattern-makers\/hat-makers!<\/p>\n
