Description
Dressed: A philosophical exploration of clothes and their place in our lives. Shahidha Bari delves into the secret language of our clothes, tracing the hidden power of garments in our culture and daily lives. Through literature, art, film, and philosophy, she examines how clothes reflect and shape our experiences, from the objectification of women to the crisis of masculinity. As we dress every day, do we pause to consider the unconscious thoughts and memories that are conveyed through our clothing? Bari's book offers a fresh perspective on this question, revealing the deepest philosophical questions about who we are, how we see ourselves, and how we present ourselves to the world.
