Baluchi Embroidery Takes Center Stage at Cannes

In the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, all eyes were on the Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani as she graced the red carpet for Mohammad Rasoulof’s latest cinematic masterpiece, “The Seed of the Sacred Fig.” Farahani, aged 40, exuded elegance and sophistication as she made her presence felt among the glitz and glamour of the prestigious event.

One of the highlights of Farahani’s appearance was her stunning attire, meticulously crafted by renowned designer Araz Fazaeli. Fazaeli revealed that the dress featured Baluchi embroidery in a three-dimensional form, marking a rare and exquisite display of this traditional art form. This innovative approach to incorporating cultural elements into contemporary fashion garnered attention and appreciation from fashion enthusiasts and cultural connoisseurs alike.

Reflecting on the significance of the dress, Fazaeli remarked, “This is the second time in the past 50 years that Baluchi embroidery has been showcased in such a unique manner. The first instance was seen in the attire worn by Farah Pahlavi, now preserved in the archive of the Niavaran Palace.” Farahani’s choice to don this distinctive ensemble not only paid homage to her cultural heritage but also served as a testament to the enduring beauty and relevance of traditional craftsmanship in the world of fashion.
