Fashion in Iran: Before and After the Islamic Revolution
By Tania Valdés
Fashion in Iran has changed over the decades more than one would think. This piece intends to showcase the evolution of fashion from the 1930’s until today, with a specific emphasis on the Islamic Revolution. Thus, to portrait how fashion can be an indicator not only of one country’s culture but also of the entire political spectrum. As it is commonly said, one picture speaks a thousand words, which is why the fashion evolution is shown before uniquely by images and a strong before and after between the 1970’s and the 1980’s up until this day, when using the Hijab is still compulsory.
