The Secret Life of Syrian Lingerie |
2008-11-29 |
By documenting the lingerie culture of Syria, the book 'The Secret Life of Syrian Lingerie: Intimacy and Design' reveals a previously unknown side of Arabic design, fashion and sexuality. The most outrageous and exuberant lingerie in the world comes from a place yoùd 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, even vibrate. In Damascus and Aleppo, approximately 200 lingerie companies vie for a highly competitive domestic market, where styles change from season to season. |
