Uniforms shape our everyday life: they unite, divide, and provide identity. Whether soldiers, students, or police officers – each environment has its own uniform. But what effect do they have on us? Why have students in London been wearing the same clothing for centuries? Why is a school uniform a political issue in France, yet a privilege in Nepal? ‘Dress Wars’ tells the story of the uniform, from tradition to rebellion. Between military, fashion, and identity – a cinematic look at what connects and divides us.
