It is therefore fitting that we welcome to our gathering Ms Farnoush Hamidian. Born near the shores of the Caspian Sea, Farnoush’s early life was steeped in rich poetic tradition — led by her mother’s early introduction to Rumi and Hafez. Though her path led her to science, and then design, she ultimately answered the call of the creative world — and in doing so has emerged as one of the most distinctive international faces on the global stage.
Her story is one of courage: surviving a serious health crisis, choosing to redefine herself rather than accept limitation, committing to authenticity even in an industry that often prizes conformity. Tonight, Farnoush stands as a symbol of how identity and global modernity can coexist, enrich each other, and elevate those who carry them forward. We are privileged to have her among us. We are delighted to announce that acclaimed model and cultural ambassador Farnoush Hamidian will be joining the birthday celebration of Her Majesty Farah Pahlavi as a special guest.
