The Frida Dress draws its inspiration from the hangerok style, a traditional garment worn by Viking women during the early medieval period in Northern Europe. This style was prevalent among the Norse and Viking populations, who lived in the Scandinavian region from the 8th to the 11th centuries. Viking women typically wore ankle-length garments under various woolen or linen dresses, aprons, and coats to protect themselves from the cold Northern climate. The use of brooches and clasps was common, both for practical purposes and as adornments. The Frida Dress pays homage to this rich historical tradition, offering a glimpse into the everyday attire of Viking women.
