Alongside them, hip twenty-somethings style their head-wraps in high black topknots to match their black boot-cut trousers. Participating in the world of popular mainstream fashion--often thought to be the domain of the West--these young Muslim women are part of an emergent cross-faith transnational youth subculture of modest fashion. In treating \u003ci\u003ehijab\u003c\/i\u003e and other forms of modest clothing as fashion, Reina Lewis counters the overuse of images of veiled women as \"evidence\" in the prevalent suggestion that Muslims and Islam are incompatible with Western modernity. \u003ci\u003eMuslim Fashion\u003c\/i\u003e contextualizes modest wardrobe styling within Islamic and global consumer cultures, interviewing key players including designers, bloggers, shoppers, store clerks, and shop owners. Focusing on Britain, North America, and Turkey, Lewis provides insights into the ways young Muslim women use multiple fashion systems to negotiate religion, identity, and ethnicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eReina Lewis is Professor of Cultural Studies at the London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London, and the author of \u003ci\u003eRethinking Orientalism: Women, Travel and the Ottoman Harem\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 25, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48336194175225,"sku":"9780822359340","price":33.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/mJQxKknOWV9780822359340.webp?v=1777518084","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/muslim-fashion-contemporary-style-cultures-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
