Kurdish costume museum has been established in Kermanshah to revive Kurdish clothing which has begun fading among their youth.

The dresses fashions presented at the museum are of diverse Kurdish tribes and come mostly from 1920s and 1930s, with some dating to more than one century. The ornaments of tribes are displayed to visitors by male and female models dressed in the traditional outfits.

“I hope each Kurdish city in Iran will have a dress museum for itself in the future,” said Shahla Javaheri whose team gathered traditional clothes for tailoring by old dressmakers of Kurdish cities in Iran.

As reports Tehran Times, the majority of people in Kermanshah Province maintain wearing the traditional dress, while in other Kurdish regions only old people still follow the custom.
