Fashion Week in Almaty: Photos
Overall more diversity I think than before. The show featured mostly Central Asian designers and in the past there was a lot of blending of traditional patterns and materials like felt and fur with haute-coutre. I think this time around it was more haute-coutre.
Little to clearly distinguish this show as Kazakhstany:
Transparent thin dress plus heavy beaded mask!
Feather bras are the next big thing.
Not sure if it’s supposed to do that or if it got blown up for some reason.
The devil you say
A little punk, gothic, industrial fashion going on.
Overcoat and Kazakh-style leather bag
What’s a fashion show without a princess?
Or a fuzzy pirate? Or maybe the tri-corner hat is to recognize America’s economic investments in Kazakhstan?
Backless dress plus fur.
And the Russian milkmaid dress with a Kyrgyz pattern. I like the contrast between the Heidi-esque dress and the model’s stern look.
