Comprising 1.68% of Iran’s general population (around 1.2 million people), Iran’s nomadic population is one of the biggest in the world. And like many who live outside of society’s margins, rules and regulations, they refuse to stop and settle, charging forth with their own prerogatives, guided by nothing but a compass and the feelings deep in their gut.

Their bravery and courage guided Farzaneh’s striking, sport-infused SS23 offering.

Flitting around the foliage of The Phoenix Garden, a community space in the heart of Tottenham Court Road, a glimpse of these forever travellers couldn’t be harder to miss, nor their tenacity harder to feel.
