About this title
Synopsis:
Central and Southwest Asia explores wearing apparel history and practices throughout the vast area linking central Asia to the Eastern Mediterranean. The birthplace of three world religions, this is a region shaped by cultural legacies: Arabs, Iranians, and Ottoman Turks have all left stunning and enduring artistic forms. This book is the only major work to cover the full range of clothes across this region, from the celebrated Silk Road, which played a vital function in linking apparel and textile traditions in the area, to topics rarely before investigated, such as Kurdish clothes, the office of the hajj market, and Afghan way shows. The region's location as a bridge between East and West is also explored, as are the cultural and symbolic meanings of Islamic apparel and the West's romantic fascination with Orientalism. Rare photographs provide fascinating visual evidence of the region's rich and complex history.
