Mehr Monir Jahanbani

Mehr Monir Jahanbani (; 16 April 1926 – 7 August 2018 and Nini Jahanbani, was an Iranian textile and fashion designer as well as visual artist. Her paternal grandfather was a descendant of Prince Seyfollah Mirza, a son of Fath-Ali Shah Qajar. Consequently, upon her birth, Mehr Monir was given the title "H.H. Shahzadeh Mihir Munir Khanum" (Persian: شاهزاده مهرمنیر خانم) in the Qajar dynasty's genealogy and was registered as Mehr Monir Jahanbani in official documents.

From a young age, Jahanbani was deeply influenced by the cultural and artistic heritage of her Russian grandmother, which sparked her passion for the art of embroidery and needlework.

Baluch art After returning to Iran in 1961, Jahanbani became acquainted with the art of Balochi needlework and its motifs.

Later, along with Keyvan Khosrovani and Pari Zolfaghari, Jahanbani ventured into designing and creating haute couture clothing. A notable example of their work is Farah Pahlavi's white dress with blue and gold embroidery along the borders and front.

At the height of her efforts, Mehr Monir Jahanbani employed over a hundred Baluch women, helping them achieve financial independence.
