Silhouettes of the Soul
Bloomsbury Visual Arts (Verlag)
978-1-350-28567-5 (ISBN)
Contentious 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, Silhouettes of the Soul offers new ways of looking at the relationship between religion, personal convictions, and self-expression - our sense of self and our sense of fashion.
Otto von Busch is Associate Professor of Integrated Design at Parsons School of Design, The New School, USA. He is the author of The Psychopolitics of Fashion (Bloomsbury, 2019). Jeanine Viau is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Central Florida, USA.
