The most outrageous and exuberant lingerie in the world comes from a place youd probably never expect: Syria. Adorned with everything from faux fur, artificial flowers, and feathered birds to plastic toy cell phones, these intimates flash lights, play music, even vibrate. Well known across the Middle Eastin Syria the lingerie forms an important part of the folk tradition around trousseaus and weddingsit is openly displayed in the markets and souks. Authors Malu Halasa and Rana Salam have brought together a diverse and dramatic collection of photography and writing, including the voices of Syrian women, celebrating this little-known niche of fashion design in all its playful glory.

Secret Life of Syrian Lingerie
Such an earnest look at this odd pocket of fashion. I kept trying to read the essay that launches the book, but the almost-scholarly prose just couldn't quite hold my attention. But you have to read it (or at least some of it) to make any sense of the photos that fill the book, in all their full-color full-bleed glory.
Is this what Syrian women look like? No, these are not Syrian women. Syrian women are not allowed to be photographed in such naughtiness. These are women from Eastern Europe, modeling lingerie that Syrian men want to see their Syrian women wear, but only in private.
Who are those terse men? Oh, they are the designers.
If I had to live in this world I'd explode. Thank you, however, for this book, and the chance to sense that anew.
