This fashion show, which the team hoped to be fruitful and saw it as a gate to entering the fashion and wearing market, failed and shut down. Fashion in Iran, has always been around illegally and underground.Clothings in accordance with the district rules of Islam (Hijab) are allowed to be designed and marketed, so a large amount of women dressings and wearings are presenting underground.
