A collage of photos from around the world, describing in pictures how people from different cultures dress in everyday life, for holidays and events, in war and peacetime, in poverty and excess, in life and in death. This book is a pictorial documentary that will challenge your current ideas of what is sartorially acceptable or even beautiful. A hat made from a flower pot? A mackerel can turned into a bracelet? Painted faces, bearded Hasidim and holy men with 20-foot dreadlocks? Find it all here, and more.
