Based in New York's East Village, and works with designer Michael Sears, this Iranian designer utilizes politics and kitsch and incorporates them in his design aesthetic.
Unlike the numerous Iranians that are found in the fashion world today, he is by far my favorite because he celebrates his heritage and incorporates his cultural identity in his work.
One of his favorite clients happens to be Madonna. He has other pop divas like Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears who have utilized his designs for their shows and videos. Brad Pitt was also featured in FightClub sporting his designs.
looks like a total Harajuku rip-off.
This is Tehran street fashion and Iranian pop. While some Iranians have rejected the veil, he plays on the very image of contemporary Revolutionary Iran.
Iran's cultural aesthetic is independent of Japan.
if that's how they dress in Tehran, somebody needs to go there and take photos of Iranian street fashion. I've got a few books about Tokyo street fashion, I love looking at the photos. I would be interested in checking out Tehran street fashion...
What was in Fight Club?!
His designs are exaggerated of course, since he deals with the world of high fashion. But this is a great photo essay by the designer himself, at www.iranian.com.

Iran may the world's oldest Islamic Republic and sometimes regressive, it is a thriving center in terms of culture and the much anticipated Western Progressive Muslim "Islamic Renaissance."
Tokyo has some serious fashion trends and if this as you say is how some people dress I would also like to see more photos, I especially love designer sunglasses that match the clothes.
