Iraq’s Fashion Industry Struggles Between Creativity and Challenges

Iraq’s fashion design sector continues to face multiple challenges despite strong creative talent.

Experts highlight the lack of regulation and absence of unions as key issues affecting the profession.

Designers also face high production costs due to reliance on imported materials.

Limited media support and lack of access to global fashion events further restrict opportunities.

The Kurdistan Region shows some progress through fashion initiatives, though challenges persist.

Observers believe proper support could transform the sector into a viable industry.
