Whatever, Farzaneh aims to be a thought leader as much as a fashion leader. The results of her experiment work as metaphor upon metaphor—about Farzaneh’s position as a young woman designer whose work is entwined with her British Iranian identity, about the influence of fashion as a whole, and about individualism versus conformity.

But this time, she had a more direct comment on her social experiment: “It shows what even a small level of influence on others can do.”
