Iran is vast, as a result of which it has many ethnicities that we all know and are proud of. They have special languages, special traditions and, of course, their clothes, all of which contribute to the value of the country.
If we know these clothes, you can easily identify the local clothes of Iran and say which clothes belong to which region. They are each formed over time and for different reasons. Depending on the color, fabric, different patterns, jewelry that has been worked on, and of course the type of hijab, you will find out which area the clothes are for.
The Bakhtiari people live in southwestern Iran in the provinces of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, Khuzestan, Isfahan, Kohgiluyeh, Boyer-Ahmad and Lorestan. Their dialect is called Bakhtiari and they are divided into two branches, Chaharlang and Haft Lang. The clothing of the Bakhtiari nomadic tribe is relatively varied depending on the weather conditions they may encounter during migration. Men wear loose-fitting trousers at the ankles, woolen hats, and chogas (a type of men’s overcoat). Colorful and layered skirts with set vests are common for women. Women have long scarves that they decorate with handmade designs.
History of clothing design
In the nineteenth century, Charles Frederick Worth began to design fashion in general by sewing his own name tag on the clothes he designed.
Just before the bazaars set up their own fashion houses in Paris and creative masses of unknown tailors, the great fashions worn in the royal courts were dismantled. Worth’s success was such that instead of acting like other tailors who in the past only followed the customer’s orders, he could dictate to his customers what to wear. The term fashion designer was actually coined to describe him for the first time.
While the category of clothing has been studied by academics in every period of time, only the creation of clothing from 1858 onwards can be considered as effective clothing design. It was during this period that many clothing masons (fashion houses) began hiring artists and painters to design clothing.
The painted pictures were shown to the customers, which were much cheaper than the real sample of the clothes produced in the workshop, if the customers liked one of their designs, they would order the clothes and the fashion house would do so. He was earning money. Thus began the tradition of designing clothing instead of offering completed clothing as an economic endeavor.
