Book Description:
|
The intertwining of clothes and the Constitution raises fundamental questions of hierarchy, sexuality and democracy. Constitutional considerations both constrain and confirm our daily choices. The regulation of what we wear - or do not - is ubiquitous. This book examines the rights to expression and equality, as well as the restraints on government power, as they both limit and allow control of our most personal choices of attire and grooming.
