We have called it Fashion Rules and examine why dress codes and freedom clash.
Talking about how they have broken fashion rules and how they have seen others break the rules we talk in this podcast to three writers from different parts of the world. Model and journalist Wana Udobang tells us how fashion rules in Nigeria today often go unquestioned. Novelist Eliza Vitri Handayani, an Indonesian writer is fascinated by the continuing subculture of punk in her country, while editor of British Elle, Maggie Alderson, talks about being arrested as a punk rocker in the UK in the 1970s,
You can read articles from these three writers in the magazine, as well others including by Bangladeshi fashion designer Bibi Russell on how women in her country are changing what they wear; Natasha Joseph on a crackdown on miniskirts in Uganda and Jemimah Steinfeld on designers in China.
