Description - Fashion is Freedom by Tala Raassi
After a raid by religious police, 16-year-old Tala found herself in prison and sentenced to forty lashes of a whip - for the crime of wearing a mini-skirt. Tala's punishment for 'indecent clothing' fanned the flames of rebellion and led to a new life in the US. When Tala wrote 'Crime of the Mini Skirt' for Marie Claire magazine, her story went global and Newsweek called her 'One of the Most Fearless in the World'. The likes of Rachael Ray and Elle gave Tala the platform to argue that fashion is a symbol of freedom. It marked the beginning of a bold new life.Fashion is Freedom takes us on an extraordinary journey from Tehran to Columbia, centre stage at the Miss Universe contest, and a new life heading an international fashion empire and supporting charities that focus on empowering women. Tala's story will inspire women everywhere to be fearless and follow their dreams.
