Facial Freedom aims to highlight the gross discrimination against Iranian women as superficial and absurd.  Whilst engaging in the masculine attribute of facial hair, these hand-sewn wearables maintain distinctively feminine qualities.  Particularly suited to the Iranian wearer, she can now enjoy the life of a socially acceptable individual; all in the comfort of the latest in gender equalising facial wear.
