hosts fashion week for Central Asian, Chinese designers Almaty
(Kazakhstan): Designers from Central Asia gathered in Kazakhstan's Almaty
city recently to showcase their designs and styles. The event, which is now in
its seventh year, also showcased Almaty as Central Asia's cosmopolitan cultural
center. The event showcased ready-to wear collections for Autumn-Winter 2009-2010
and also featured designers from China and Europe. There was a decidedly Kazakh
flavour to the collection shown by local designer Zhadira Shakieva this year.
Shakieva said that she tried to combine the beauty of women with the Kazakh national
character. Chinese designer Vong Yu Tau showcased his latest designs in Almaty.
He described Kazakhstan as an important trading partner for China, and added that
the fashion business is no exception. Most models on the catwalk came from Central
Asia - Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Three days of catwalks were arranged,
as well as beauty therapy master classes and a regional stylists' competition.
Castings were held earlier at the Hotel Kazakhstan to select the models that will
make it onto the catwalk. Around 500 models from Central Asian countries came
for the selection procedure. This year's Fashion Week theme was "Litzedeiki",
which translated loosely means 'female deceitfulness'. -May
