Have you heard of fashion week? Beautiful models wearing expensive designers, amazing foods in beautiful venues. One may think something along the lines of “Fashion week? I thought this was about the middle east.” Well it is.
Though it is true that fashion week is primarily part of Western Culture Iran held its first ever fashion week last year. On February 7-9 at the Sam Center located in North Tehran. Though this doesn’t seem like a momentous occasion to us. However, it shows how women are regaining freedom of fashion.
About 20 years ago women were confined to wearing black baggy dresses. It symbolises how women are getting more freedom in their religious practices.
Once again people in westernized cultures don’t understand the lack of freedom of dress because it is not a struggle they have dealt with (other than full nudity.)
