Veiling in Fashion enters the worlds of women who wear the hijab,
both as an aspect of their religious observance and community
belonging, and as a fashion statement, drawing upon global Islamic
fashion history. The book uses rich ethnographic investigation of
everyday veiling practices among Muslim women in the city of
Helsinki as a lens through which to reflect on and advance
understanding of matters concerning Muslim dress in international
Muslim minority contexts. The book provides an innovative approach
to studying veiling by connecting varied realms of practice,
demonstrating how domains as apparently separate as fashion,
materiality, city spaces, private life, religious beliefs, and
cosmopolitan social conditions are all tightly bound up together in
ways that only a sensitive multi-disciplinary approach can reveal.
It will appeal to scholars and students in fashion, gender,
religion, material cultures, and the construction of space.
