Publisher's description
What does clothing tell us about the customs of other cultures? Swiss costume designer Elisabeth Meier (born 1956) traveled to Blantyre, the commercial capital of Malawi, to document the city’s codes of dress. Her portraits–with their interplay of fabrics, colors, forms and structures–aid us in understanding the role of clothing in an African culture that still oscillates between tradition and modernity.
