When referred to Iran, most people think of the pictures of the black, robe, the Koran and it is difficult to think of the fashion, model, T-type units and other words of contemporary design. But in fact, fashion is not completely insulated with Iran, because a special type of fashion which works underground has always been there in Iran. There is no professional model in Iran and you must not mention business model at here because it is illegal. In Iran, the model is not an occupation, at least it is not nowadays. "We hope that policy can open up, you see, now is just a beginning." complained by a lady who has entered the fashion industry for 16 years. "As the capital, Tehran is regarded as the most open city in Iran, but even so, there is not yet a formal, legal, professional modeling agency in Tehran." In general, these models in Iran are introduced by friends or find designers to portray them. Some of them are students, others are ordinary staff, and some want to be discovered by director. The pay of these models is not high, so no one wants to earn money as models. Strictly speaking, they are hardly even a part-time. In fact, these young girls are completely out of their own preference to attend the show in most cases. In short, it is basically a hobby.
Dina, a famous female photographer in the fashion industry, said that in addition to the official Fashion Festival Show, there is a so-called "underground show field" in Iran. As the name suggests, this show is illegal and need for secret. Dina said that the location of these shows are extremely critical, as usual, they sites are generally selected in the absence of single-family rental apartment or villa in the basement. Preparation, planning, until the whole process of performance must be performed a high degree of confidentiality. The underground fashion show is very mysterious. Ms. A Zita who has organized several "underground fashion show" of the costume designer said that for security reasons, performances are arranged at late at night, these models received an invitation must be reliable and proven, people who want to watch the performances must also be recommended by trusted friends from organizers, strangers can’t possibly be invited to this show.
"While this underground show is very poor, T-condition units are replaced by red carpet, our locker room is also extremely simple. However, I felt I was complimented by sincere words, so I can’t leave."
