I didn’t care about Iranians liking them or not,” he says. “My intention was to bring my culture to the world, because it was completely absent in the history of pop culture and the history of fashion.

Nima Behnoud, creator of NIMANY, totally lying to Rolling Stone (Middle East) about the absence of Iranian culture in western pop culture or fashion before he started making T-shirts. Seriously, Nima? Yes, your t-shirts are popular and selling well, but it would serve you better to acknowledge your forebears and recognize that calligraphy on T-shirts was neither the first glimpse of Iranian culture in the west, nor did that idea even originate with you. (Hint: see Hushi.) Can I get a slice of humble pie for the dude in the shiny tee, please?
