MARIETTE GHIAÏ-CHAMLOU ORGANIZES VARIOUS
INTELLECTUAL AND ARTISTIC EVENTS BOTH AT HER
HOME IN PARIS AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH "UNESCO"

THE FOLLOWING IS A REPORT OF THOSE EVENTS

DATE AND TIME: November 24th, 2002

LOCATION: UNESCO Paris

TOPICS: Costumes of the Tajik, Kurd, Afghan, Uzbek, Turkmen, Balutch, Fars and Khorassan Tribes

A fashion Show directed, choreographed and produce by Mariette Ghiai-Chamlou

PRESS RELEASE:
Mariette Ghiai-Chamlou directed and choreographed an amazing costume show illustrating
the richness of various outfits from the Persian Empire.
Roughly 70 folk costumes worn by some 25 male, female and children dancing models were exhibited.
Costumes from various Persian provinces together with Tajik, Uzbek and Afghan ones were exhibited.
Mariette did not limit her show to the scene and had her dancers gracefully move among the sitting audience
in circular motions with music around the hall.
Mariette said " it took months to assemble costumes and practice with students who had to learn how to
move, dance and model to the tune of Persian music."
The show was a refreshing reminder that Persian costumes are full of joyful colors, a stark contrast to the
prevailing somber outfits currently imposed in that country.
