Passion, Drive Pay Off for Iranian Bikini Designer

Fashion design is very competitive, especially if you are a young designer. But passion and a relentless drive can overcome a lot of obstacles. Those qualities have made Iranian bikini designer Tala Raassi a success -- two pieces of cloth at a time. Tala Hadavi reports.

More power to her. I don't believe its an  accident that she got the commission on the Ms. Universe Pegeant. There's a "power" connection in there somewhere and it has something to do with her being young and beautiful with a little brain. She will do good for the hooters of USA but she needs to learn to cut for the bigger bust sizes cause those skimpy flat chested designs are NOT gonna do it. hahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I read her life story article on marie claire and ppl. said its a big lie!!! This girl lives in a free democratic country promotes a barbaric cult and makes bikinis for WOMEN.... is a joke. She is a living proof that education does not give one a "brain". In every Islamic country women are second class citizens and Islam is not tolerant nor peaceful. I was going to check her line but never will. The article really is bad publicity for her. Another proof that she is such an IDIOT!

@missingt00th ok your kind of proving my point, she got a degree and she is doing something with her degree, she has her own business, and striving for success.

[missingt00th]

@TheDCPersian That's the problem with people like you; you think that just because someone gets a fucking degree that they're educated. That's bullshit. I know a ton of people who have business or fashion degrees & haven't the faintest idea as to what an education really is. Unfortunately, an education today is a piece of paper that'll get you more money than the other people who haven't acquired that same piece of paper, & that's fucking lame. This is an example of Iran playing the fashion game

@missingt00th yo stfu. Women in Iran cant wear whatever they want, even men cant wear whatever they want. they get fined, beaten, etc if they do. She thinks that fashion is embracing womens power because she along with all of the women in Iran never had opportunities like that, do they sell dresses and bikinis in Iran? yes, can they wear them in public? no. She is obviously educated if she can come from Iran, go to school, and manage a business. dont hate on her.
