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.
