Eccentric Iranian fashion
I found this article about more restrictions on Iranian catwalks. What’s more interesting are the eccentric pictures accompanying the article, from the fashion house 12ins. I don’t read Farsi, but I was able to find the gallery.
Wow, wow, woooooow. I don’t know if I should laugh or cry 
Those designs make me think about 1001 nights, mixed with Alice in wonderland, mixed with ancient Egypt!!!!!
All the models wear some kind of hijab or headgear, but hmmmm… Don’t try this at home.
What do you think of their designs? Even though I think it looks ridiculous, I still can’t stop looking. There are so many details and vivid colors.
OHHHHHH, and niqabis watch out, do not try out the turqouise bearded look!

Lol the turquoise bearded look is so weird. And the last pic looks like a scene from The Wizard of Oz.
I do think it’s a wonderful way to express one’s creativity. But it’s not exactly pret-a-porter fashion haha.

Haha the one with the metal spiral look on her head, is a bit scary. It looks like it would give me a headache. Or like she should put it in the tool drawer after she is done! The head gear is scary, but some of the dresses (without the gear) would be very nice dresses, I think.
Also, the Beard is very Odd…i didnt catch that at first and i had to go back and look!

Kholod, this is what I do http://thehijablog.wordpress.com/2008/07/06/the-best-thing-since/
I used to fold the scarves before, but it lead to a lot of frustration, because I kept messing up the ones on the top every time I wanted to use a scarf that was underneath the top layer…
I got 5 of these from IKEA, they’re great-

Salam!
The designer’s influences are aggrandized caricatures of pre-Islamic Iranian culture. Here’s an interesting article on this in Iranian culture:

[...] Iranian designers have new rules to follow on the catwalk. Via The Hijablog. [...]

Yes, I almost fell off the sofa laughing at Ange’s take on the matter
I thought some of the stuff looked vaguely… Ancient Egyptian or something, but I guess that was really Babylonian. But really, some of it looks like something out ‘The Nutcracker’! (The ballet, I mean).
