Great Fashion in Baghdad 900AD | History of Early Civilisations | BBC Teach

Two Islamic merchants, Jafar and Salma, are signed up for this makeover show parody. Children are introduced to traditional male and female attire and fashion accessories as a merchant and his wife prepare to take up a prestigious invitation to the House of Wisdom in Baghdad. Bonus fashion tips fill in background to the society, such as the importance of modesty, how to keep cool, and following the teachings of the Qur'an. This clip is from the BBC series History of Early Civilisations - Islam. Through parodies of reality TV shows, this series introduces different aspects of life in the Islamic Golden Age, circa AD900. Suitable for teaching History at KS2 and KS3 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 2nd/3rd Level in Scotland.
