From the natural look of the 1910s through the 50’s pin-back hair, to the colorful semi-covered veils of the 2000s, this video illustrates 100 years of Iranian beauty, embodied in a single woman who alters her make up and hair style to match every decade.
Produced by Cut video, the one-minute timelapse outstandingly portrays the dramatic cultural and political changes that Persia underwent in the last 10 decades, including the outlawing of hijab by Reza Shah Pahlavi in the 1930s and the voluminous hair styles that dominated female beauty standards until the 1979 revolution, when the veil was introduced again.
