Khorramdokht Festival in Lorestan: Bridging Local Identity with Iranian-Islamic Clothing Design

Khorramabad – The provincial Khorramdokht Festival is planned to showcase the province's cultural and historical capacities and identify emerging talent in the design and tailoring of Iranian-Islamic clothing.

According to Mehr reporter, the pre-event training session of the second "Khorramdokht" provincial festival was held in Lorestan with the focus on "fashion and resistance" on Thursday afternoon, and in it, the cultural, historical and identity capacities of the province were examined for use in the design of Iranian-Islamic clothing.

This meeting was held with the aim of explaining the call of the festival, explaining its approaches and goals, and familiarizing designers with the inspiring cultural and artistic fields of Lorestan, in order to provide the basis for presenting creative ideas in accordance with Iranian-Islamic values and identity.

"Fashion and resistance"; Reflecting cultural identity in clothing design

One of the main axes of this meeting is to examine the concept of "fashion and resistance" with an emphasis on recognizing cultural identity, social values and native symbols.

In this approach, clothing design is not only limited to the appearance and aesthetic aspects, but the transfer of cultural concepts and the reflection of the society's identity are also considered.

Acquainting designers with these capacities can provide the basis for the formation of ideas suitable for Iranian-Islamic culture and lead to the creative use of native elements in clothing design.

Local clothing and gloves; Sources of inspiration for Lorestan designers

The cultural and artistic capacities of Lorestan were among the other points of interest in this meeting.

Local clothing, glooni, native motifs and colors, and historical and cultural narratives related to resistance, are among the inspiring elements that can be used in clothing design.

Taking advantage of these components, while paying attention to the cultural authenticity and identity characteristics of the province, can help to create designs that fit the needs of the day and at the same time have local signs.

Identifying emerging talents and connecting ideas with production

Among the other goals of the pre-Khorramdokht festival educational meeting was to identify emerging talents and strengthen communication between students, designers, producers and maison activists.

Providing a context for interaction between the activists of this field can pave the way to transform creative ideas into functional designs and producible products and develop the relationship between the design department and the production capacities of the fashion and clothing field.

The focus of the "Khorramdokht" festival is on the design of the mantle of the Iranian-Islamic community

The second provincial festival "Khorramdokht" is held in Lorestan with the focus on designing and sewing the mantle of the Iranian-Islamic community and follows approaches such as training, empowering and supporting designers.
