Description

Original pictorial red wrappers. Large demy 8vo. (22 x 17 cm). In English. 175, [1] p., fully colour & b/w ills. Signed, inscribed and numbered as "Enjoy the many secrets of the East, 10" by Rana Salam. "The most outrageous and exuberant lingerie in the world comes from a place you'd probably never expect: Syria. Adorned with everything from faux fur, artificial flowers, and feathered birds to plastic toy cell phones, these intimates flash lights, play music, and even vibrate. Well known across the Middle East in Syria lingerie forms an important part of the folk tradition around trousseaus and weddings it is openly displayed in the markets and souks. Authors Malu Halasa and Rana Salam have brought together a diverse and dramatic collection of photography and writing, including the voices of Syrian women, celebrating this little-known niche of fashion design in all its playful glory."
