On the Iranian catwalk for this fall...

Iranian authorities showcase "correct female Islamic dress".

For women who have been "forced" to wear whatever the fashion industry imposes on our society." Now, the imams are the ones doing the imposing. (see here for Obama's version of correct female dress)


Iran's Culture and Islamic Orientation Minister Saffar Harandi hailed the Islamic 'fashion parade' as "unprecedented"."This is an unparalelled event for Iranian women, who until now have not had the opportunity to dress how they want to but have been forced to wear whatever the fashion industry imposes on our society," Harandi stated. Journalists and photographers attended the show but few members of the public. The 'fashion show' followed a 'moralisation drive' launched by Iran's authorities that was aimed at clamping down on Western-style dress and hairstyles.


You can see the styles (hah!) here.
