“Clothing constitutes a cultural statement.  It is a manifestation of culture, no less than art, architecture, literature, and music.  Like all cultural phenomena, it communicates a great deal of information both on the physical and symbolic level about the society, but also its social mores and values.” – Yedida Kalfon Stillman, died 1998 as the world’s acknowledged expert on the history of clothing in the Arab world.
