Tala Raassi

Tala Raassi is a fearless fashion designer who shares her journey from imprisonment and forty lashes for the crime of wearing a mini-skirt in her beloved homeland of Iran, to founder of an international fashion empire. Raassi wrote a book called Fashion is Freedom: how a girl from Tehran broke the rules to change her world, an inspiring true story of how courage, a dream, and some needle and thread can change a life forever.
