Abstract

This paper argues that Muslim women in Helsinki, Finland use dress as a tool to cultivate and express forms of cultural capital, that fashion, anti-fashion and non-fashion are strategies in such practices, and that fashionability, stylishness, piety, modesty, disinterest in fashion, and spirituality are forms of symbolic capital that are used in order to gain status within various reference groups.
