In the Lebanon, the khaki colour is not about to go out of fashion and fatigues dress is all the rage… and not just with the military. As an antidote to war, Lebanese women dress exuberantly, but still go for a very classical style. In the Lebanon, wearing the veil does not prevent women from wearing a leopard mini dress.
We discover that the abaya is not just the privilege of Muslims, the orthodox nuns also seem to wear it.

In this episode, we attend a particularly flashy wedding and discover that the ‘bling bling’ fashion is well established in the south of the country.
When visiting Palestinian camps, one measures the importance of dress in perpetuating tradition.
The famous keffiyeh has been diverted from its original purpose to become a fashion item that is worn like a scarf by the Beirut bourgeoisie.
