Gold lace, sable linings and silk fabrics. Christian IV, Frederik III and Christian V had a flair for dressing elegantly and fashionably. In Ti konges tøj, author and textile conservator Katia Johansen opens the door to Rosenborg Castle's unique costume collection and their large catalog of royal costumes - from Christian IV through Frederik VII, from c. 1600 to 1863.

The book not only gives an insight into the kings' beautiful wardrobes, but also into their daily lives, both public and private. Through the garments, the reader learns about the person who wore the clothes and gets details about the life of the court - about tailors, pearl cutters, chambermaids, palace stewards and laundresses. Foreign ambassadors of the time supplement with accounts of how the Danish court dressed differently from their domestic court, and the book describes how the royals dressed on their travels.

Ti konges tøj is an overview of the history of dress and a historical account of honor, dignity and self-understanding in a privileged family over the centuries.

With a foreword by H.M. Queen Margrethe. Published in collaboration with The Royal Collection.
