The designer had made gowns for Jaberi several times before this, and the two bonded over the idea of using a Cannes look to make a bigger statement. “We shared this idea ever since the executions began in our country Iran,” says Saber, “and we were thinking about creating something to display our fight against this injustice to the world.” It’s a miracle that Jaberi and Saber were able to have the dress be seen; such political statements at Cannes are banned from the red carpet. (A Ukrainian influencer was removed from the carpet this year after dousing herself in fake blood—a statement in protest of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.) While Jaberi was photographed in her dress, she was stopped by security before she could showcase the back of it; it featured the phrase “Stop Executions” on the train. “Because of the rules of the Cannes festival, they made her hide the back of the dress,” says Saber. “There was nothing on the dress to inform the people about what the design was for, but regardless, everyone understood the message—and the design is all over the news. Therefore, the design speaks for itself.”
The viral moment has been surreal for Saber. “We expected positive feedback, but, honestly, not to this extent,” she says. “I cried when I first saw her on the Awesome it’s okay if you don’t like playing the guitar it’s kind of a smart people instrument anyway shirt and I love this red carpet, and I’m still very emotional about this dress and its message.” As a result, she continues to see fashion as a powerful medium for something much bigger than just dressing up. “This is the first time that I’m using my art to make a statement, because this is an important point in time in my home country. Our people have been suffering for decades under the current regime,” she says. “I believe all artists, fashion designers, musicians, actors, [and more] should use their art to make a statement in support of the Iranian people. Even these small steps will allow us to create a larger change.”
