Stop Motion:
Fashion History of the Safavid Era

In this project, we explore one of the most fascinating periods in Iranian history: the Safavid era. Using the stop motion technique, we aimed to bring the fashion history of this era to life in an engaging and educational way.
To create this piece, we drew inspiration from the exquisite wall paintings of Chehel Sotoun Palace in Isfahan. These paintings, which are among the masterpieces of Safavid art, showcase intricate details of clothing, fabrics, and styles from that time. In our project, we carefully animated these details, allowing viewers to experience the beauty and authenticity of Safavid fashion in a dynamic and captivating manner.
This project was brought to life through the collaboration of Mr. Omid Ayeenechi and Ms. Fatemeh Asadi. The ideation, design, and execution of this stop motion animation are the result of months of dedicated teamwork. Our goal was to present the fashion history of the Safavid era not just as a historical topic, but as a vibrant and inspiring work of art.
We hope this project will open a window to the past, offering audiences a deeper appreciation for the beauty and intricacy of Iranian culture and art.
