And Vogue.The September Issue of US Vogue hit the stands and I savored each and every page and photograph. Then, I came across Carla Power’s article Revolutionary Style, discussing Pakistan’s Fashion Week amid the political turmoil and violence, and savored the magazine some more.

Syria Fashion: Clothing and Other Incidentals

Clothing...it's complicated. And in Syria, street fashion is complicated and convoluted.Twenty years ago, 70% of women did not "cover"; now it is just the opposite. Ten percent of the population is Christian, so they don't cover. Of the women who cover, there are different levels of covering: head scarf (hijab)and regular clothing or medium length/long trench coat, fully cloaked with head scarf, fully cloaked with face veiled (niqab). Women not fully robed wear a variety of current fashions (jeans, stilettos, crop tops over t-shirts (many with sayings in English and/or "engrish" that are very suggestive), skirts to knees. What they wear under the trench coats or cloaks is hard to know. But, on younger women, the trench coats are very tight fitting, leaving little to the imagination. The decisions made by women on what to wear, do not seem to be religious in nature, which is what makes it complicated. Some decisions are based on fashion, family pressure, the desire by women to find husbands: men tend to marry late because they have to buy a house before marriage; they marry younger women because they want children and then want their wives scarved to show unavailability to other males.
