Ellinor Flor

Inspired by folk art, her designs have principally focused on women's hats and costumes, frequently combining knitting and embroidery.

[4] Born on 16 January 1946 in Steinkjer in central Norway, Ellinor Dagmar is the daughter of Einar Bjørshol (1906–91) and his wife Oline née Reitan (1906–96).

[5] In response to a request in 1985 for new designs for machine-knitted clothes from the Housekeeping Centre in Selbu Municipality, Flor's knitted dress "Rosa heimafrå" proved to be an outstanding success.

In 1997, she designed costumes for Bertil Palmar Johansen ballets Tiden bygger byen and Hjerter Dame til Ringve.

[2] Ellinor Flor's works are in the collections of the Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim art museums, the Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum in Tromsø and De Sandvigske Samlinger in Lillehammer.
