View the stories in Fashion Undercover where we have fun with fashion. Allow us to present some fashion do’s and don’ts:

Wear trash
Watch Katrina Drabkin’s film “Wrappings” where she wears a dress of recycled food packaging to as she calls attention to our increasingly “to-go” culture.

Wear your hair outside your hijab
See Waheeda Malullah’s playful images in “Cover” as she explores new ways to clear up misconceptions about the hijab.

Use self as dining table
In “The perfect housewife’s closet” Maria Ezcurra Lucotti sees clothes as an extension of ourselves. Her playful installations make a poignant point about women’s roles.

No room here for the fashion police! What is fashion today and how tied are we to our high-heels or hand-me-downs? Join us as we reclaim what fashion means to us!
