Muslim dress and fashion

Dress has been a central topic of research from the early 2000s on. One project centered on face-veiling with a focus on the tensions between how especially state authorities have problematized face-veiling and how the women concerned signify this sartorial practice. Another project focused on more and less fashionable styles of Muslim dress and the emergence of 'Islamic fashion'.
