Dale of Norway - 1994 Feminine Sweater
Indigo / Offwhite / Mustard
A modern update to one of our biggest successes ever, our official Olympic sweater from the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. While the shape has been updated, the pattern remains more or less unchanged from the original: consisting of symbols and figures from Norse mythology. A feminine, loose cut with a dipped back length gives this nearly 30-year-old classic a modern look.
The story behind it:
The sweater’s symbols and figures from Norse mythology are: Frøya, the goddess of love and fertility, with the ability to foresee the future. Odin, the most powerful and wisest of the gods. He is riding Sleipner, the fastest horse in the world. Two ravens, Hugin and Munin, symbolizing thought and recollection, one pointing forward, the other backwards. And Yggdrasil, the evergreen world tree, keeping the whole world up, with branches reaching up to the sky and roots stretching down into the underworld.
