What bearing do religious and political belonging, respectability, and resistance have on the way in which we dress? Why have more traditional religious practices been so prescriptive about body adornment? Historically, fashionable dress and religion have been positioned as polar opposites. \u003ci\u003eSilhouettes of the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e brings them together, placing them in conversation with each other. By moving beyond traditional, social scientific, and historical analysis of religious attire and adornment the book presents a variety of disciplinary approaches from across regional, social, and religious locations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContentious and challenging, as well as academically rigorous, the book's diverse range of contributors - from fashion and religious studies scholars, to designers, activists, monastics, and journalists - explore the relationship between religion and fashion, extending the meanings and possibilities of both dress and spirituality. Combining interviews and personal stories with more traditional theoretical analysis, \u003ci\u003eSilhouettes of the Soul \u003c\/i\u003eoffers new ways of looking at the relationship between religion, personal convictions, and self-expression - our sense of self and our sense of fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOtto von Busch\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Integrated Design at Parsons School of Design, The New School, USA.
