Iran: Then and Now

When we think about the images that we are fed of countries in the Middle East such as Iran this is usually what comes to mind.

An angry mob with some sort of anti-American fundamentalist ideals. But what many haven't seen are images portraying a radically different country before the Islamic revolution occurred.



Before the Islamic revolution took place Iran was a very westernized nation, enjoying fashions and trends almost exactly the same to those here in the United States in 60's and 70's. You would be hard pressed to see many difference between fashion in the two countries.

Much has changed since those times as Islamic law is now in effect but hopefully one day the young people of Iran can once again enjoy the freedom of living in a culture that they can have fun in.
