Princess Ashraf of Iran also left us a few days ago at a grand old age. She was the twin sister of the Shah, and a rumored Rasputinette, the power behind the throne. But I think of her now as a reminder of a lost time. In the Teheran of the Forties and Fifties, she showed her hair, wore earrings, went bare-armed and flashed discreet cleavage – just like women in France and Germany. There are no women in Iran today who dare to dress as Princess Ashraf did seventy years ago. What makes you think it will go any differently in Cologne or Vienna or Stockholm?
