Researched by the Stibbert Museum in Florence, Italy, and edited by the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia, this book features 124 male and female costumes, complete suits of armour and accessories such as shoes, gloves and headgear. The text discusses the 'alternative face of fashion' from armour to civilian attire of the two cultures - the Western perception of Islamic dress and an examination of the clothes of the West. It also analyses men's wear and the tailored form, the clothing of women from outer to underwear, and the meeting point of fashion where East andWest mutually influence each other.
