Iran enforces new dress code for shops

Iran has introduced a new Islamic dress code which forbids shopkeepers from displaying female mannequins without a hijab in shop windows, or showing bodily curves.

"Using unusual mannequins exposing body curves and with heads without a hijab [Muslim veils] are now prohibited to be used in the shops," police said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Iranian police have also banned the display of bowties and neckties, and the sale of women's underwear by men.

The move is part of a campaign against Western cultural influences in the Islamic Republic.
