Arab Vogue's Report on Googoosh; The Iranian Icon Guides Her Granddaughter in the Fashion World

The magazine 'Arab Vogue' has published a detailed report in its latest issue about Googoosh, the renowned Iranian artist, and Mia Ghobani, her granddaughter. Mia, 21 years old, is the daughter of Kambeez Ghobani, Googoosh's son, and collaborates with various companies and brands as a model. This report, written by American-Iranian author Pouruchista Khakpour, published in the September issue of the magazine, discusses the artistic background of Googoosh as an Iranian cultural icon and explores her role and influence in Mia's personal and professional life from various angles. Khakpour describes Googoosh, whose real name is Faegheh Atashin, as an 'international star' representing Iranian culture and art, with countless fans worldwide. In the interview, Googoosh and Mia express their emotions, shared interests, and their close relationship that goes 'beyond grandmother and granddaughter.' Mia describes having Googoosh by her side as a grandmother throughout her life as a 'surreal experience.' Mia listens to Iranian music and is somewhat familiar with the Persian language, but forming complete sentences is challenging for the young model. However, she states that she is gradually getting 'better' and is trying to speak Persian. The report mentions Googoosh's more than two decades away from the stage due to the ban on women singing by the Islamic Republic, noting that her first performance in 2001 in Toronto shocked Iranians and was a gift for them. Another section of the report references Iran and the 'Women, Life, Freedom' movement, stating that Googoosh and Mia hope to travel to Iran one day. Mia, recalling that she is from 'Generation Z,' expresses her support for Iranian women who are rebelling. She emphasizes that she does not want to encourage anyone to do anything but states, 'But as long as you don't rebel, nothing will change. If you abide by the laws, things will remain the same.'
