The Unveiling Scene is a brand that serves as a narrator of my past experience and what the women of Iran are still experiencing as of late. The brand has been created for the purpose of spreading an important message: Women’s freedom and keeping laws away from our bodies. The brand name itself speaks volumes of what the brand advocates for. The Unveiling Scene is inspired by my own story during my 13 years of living in Saudi Arabia and most importantly, the ongoing women’s protest in Iran. This brand shall serve as a tribute to Masa Amini, and every other woman who has felt restricted to wear what they want because of laws and the society’s views. I have created this brand to speak my mind and to spread the word that the world still hasn’t changed.
