Skirt

In a 500-year-old stone theatre in the Egyptian capital, two young dervishes spin ceaselessly. Slowly, then all at once, they are consumed in a flurry of vivid fabrics.

Born into a lineage of whirling dervishes, Mohamed Adel, 20, takes great pride in the uniquely Egyptian interpretation of the centuries-old ritual known colloquially as "tanoura," or skirt in Arabic.

Police found the body of a woman at the 4th pier of Glyfada in the south of Attica. The woman appears to be between 50-55 years old, 165cm tall, and was wearing a long black t-shirt, a black skirt with short beze colour tights underneath and dark blue shoes. The body was taken to Athens Capodistrian University toxicology lab for a postmortem examination.

Bought for just $20, the dress worn by Vivien Leigh in "Gone With the Wind", fetched $137,000 at an auction.

Miniskirts have once again become cannon fodder in Turkey?s culture war, with President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an personally diving into the issue during a speech on Feb. 25.

British actress Emma Watson has lent her support to skirt-wearing Turkish men who marched in Istanbul to protest the brutal murder of 20-year-old student Özgecan Aslan.

"I would walk around in Taksim wearing a skirt, if you can do that..."

For many Turkish men, this is a common phrase they use when they want to assert a claim or make a bet. It has turned into reality when a group of men went to Istanbul's iconic Taksim Square wearing skirts, keeping their word they have been pledging for the past few days on social media.

A young E.Y. praying for more snowfall wrote in Twitter: ?Be colder my Turkey, so that daughters of the nation of Islam learn how to dress? (to cover themselves from top to toe). What and how a woman dresses up should be something that she decides for herself. Can it be the duty of the state, some self-proclaimed religious ?doctrine-logues?

A Turkish man has donned a skirt in a central Istanbul square, to demonstrate in memory of slain 20-year-old student Özgecan Aslan, triggering social media calls for a massive "skirt-wearing" march over the weekend.

Bucharest is a Balkan world, mottled and patchy like the legendary robe of Arvinte, a folk tale character who cut his sleeves to patch his elbows, then his skirt to extend the sleeves.
