About This book examines memories of family and friends through anecdotes and photographs of their clothes, which the author has inherited and worn. The beautifully shot pictures
of the garments and shoes take the reader on a journey through time from their first owners to the photographer Ida Taavitsainen, who wears them now. As she says, she did not meet her great grandmother, but wearing her clothes she knows her size and feels close to her wearing something that touched her skin. This is a visual history and a family album without people in it, from a new young talent.
