And then there is the fashion-interested Ditlev Tamm, who does not see clothes as being gendered, and who casually wears a pair of stilettos or a red shawl.
It is thus a multifaceted human being who can celebrate his 75th birthday on March 7th.
Ditlev Tamm trained as a lawyer in 1970, and the paragraphs run in his blood. He is thus the son of former Supreme Court Judge Henrik Tamm. His great-grandfather was a lawyer, and so were his grandparents.
After graduating, he quickly embarked on what was to be a long career at the University of Copenhagen, where he also has a doctorate in philosophy.
In addition to his university job, he has authored a large number of books, and he has not been shy about interfering in the political debate – especially around bourgeois Denmark.
The fashion interest that is so defining for Ditlev Tamm today, however, he only really showed late in life.
Until he was in his mid-50s, Ditlev Tamm was most often seen in a gray blazer. But something new was going to happen, he told Uniavisen in 2019.
Therefore, he invested in a red jacket and some high-heeled boots. Only several colorful pieces of clothing have been added to the closet, and in fact his interest in fashion is strongly linked to his work as a professor of legal history.
– Maybe my interest in fashion is related to my doubts about whether I’m good enough. I probably never felt completely nerdy enough to be in a university.
– My entire upbringing up to and including my career at the Faculty of Law is conservative. But I have always stepped aside and studied language, literature and history beyond law, so I have become a strange mix of a lawyer with humanistic ideals, it sounded from Tamm.
Even though Tamm in his own words is not quite nerdy enough to be at a university, he still is. Today with the title of Professor Emeritus.
