HIZI explores the tension between public modesty and private exposure in pre-revolutionary Iran, drawing inspiration from the photography of Kaveh Golestan, particularly his documentation of women living in Shahr-e No, Tehran’s former red-light district. My design process centers on the deconstruction of lingerie as a symbol of intimacy and vulnerability, contrasted with the structured tailoring of luti men,a working-class masculine subculture rooted in performance, pride, and visibility. I also looked into Film Farsi, a popular cinematic genre that brought these two contrasting figures the marginalized woman and the hyper-visible tough man into the same urban narrative. In many of these films, the luti figure embodied exaggerated masculinity and dominance, reflecting a form of performative or narcissistic male identity that shaped public perceptions of gender and power. By merging delicate undergarment techniques with exaggerated masculine tailoring, the collection translates historical references into contemporary silhouettes through layering, transparency, and hybrid construction, challenging boundaries between masculinity and femininity, concealment and exposure.
