I've just came across the documentary Fashioning Faith - http://vimeo.com/17031582
Done by anthropologist Yasmin Moll, it gives a more everyday, less politicized perspective on Islamic clothing. Interesting. 
I wonder what are the recent feminist anthro works on this topic? (inc.relating to the controversy around head covering in Europe and easing of the 'headscarf ban' in Turkey?)

I would encourage you to read Jenny White's Islamist mobilization in Turkey: a study in vernacular politics
thanks, Deniz! I will look for it.
Thanks for sharing the documentary! It would be nice to know if you know any anthropological research about islamic clothing in latinamerican contexts?
