“Can faithful shoppers be shoppers of faith? How does religion relate to fashion? Can spirituality have style? Should the fashion industry respond to people who want to express their faith and spirituality through their clothes?”
altM joined with the Princeton Muslim Life Program and Faith & Fashion from London College of Fashion to bring these discussions to you. And if you don’t live in New Jersey, that’s what we’re here for! Join us by video and by podcast to tap into these fascinating conversations being held by Muslim women today.
Watch more panels at the links above. But if you’re more of a SoundCloud and Podcast person, we’ve got the right format for you.
“LCF’s Professor Reina Lewis took Faith and Fashion to Princeton University, USA, to explore the pleasures and pitfalls of ‘modest’ fashion as community and commerce in a collaboration with altMuslimah.com and the Princeton Muslim Life Program.”
