Episode 13 - Faith & Fashion

In this episode of SCCI Virtual Fashion Hub 2020, curator, author and cultural leader, Dolla Merrillees, helms a conversation between Emanuel Synagogue’s Rabbi Jeffrey B. Kamins OAM and Gandhi Creations Founder and Multicultural NSW Board Member, Sonia Sadiq Gandhi.

Together they discuss the role played by religion in contemporary identity and dress. In our increasingly multicultural, multi-faith societies, how have religions kept with developments relating to changing gender roles, to increasing interest in modesty and to wider definitions of identity?

Hear from Dolla Merrillees, Rabbi Jeffrey B. Kamins and Sonia Gandhi as they explore ways in which the fashion industry has shaped and, is shaped in turn by, organised religion.
