Stories We Wear: Status, Spectacle And The Politics Of Appearance

About the Book

A CROSS-SECTIONAL VIEW OF INDIAN SOCIETY THROUGH THE LENS OF CLOTHING AND STYLE.
Stories We Wear is a compelling exploration of the lives we pass by-and the stories stitched into their silence. With a journalist's eye and a storyteller's heart, Shefalee Vasudev uncovers narratives hidden in plain sight, spanning cremation grounds and coffee shops, khadi debates and airport lounges.
From political style to its deliberate erasure, Vasudev reveals how clothing, culture and context become quiet carriers of identity.
