Dazzling fashion collections have been demonstrated within the
13th season of the Azerbaijan Fashion Week, Azernews reports,
citing trend life .
The fashion week was devoted to the 30th anniversary of the
Azerbaijani-Kazakh diplomatic relations.
Speaking at the event, Kazakh Ambassador to Azerbaijan Serzhan
Abdikarimov praised the dynamic development of the historical ties
between the two nations. He also stressed the importance of the
constant participation of Kazakh designers at the Azerbaijani
Fashion Week for the mutual enrichment of cultures and
traditions.
In support of his words, Shogy brand from the city of Aktau
showed Kazakh traditional gowns in all their beauty.
Sayat Dossybayev's collection Nomade was no less impressive.
The fashion collection consisted of male and female looks from
eco-leather adorned with oriental prints and embroideries.
Following the chosen style, the brand demonstrated what a
21st-century nomad should look like.
Famed Azerbaijani designer Faxriyya Xalafova was inspired by her
participation in the Venice Film Festival.
The designer was captivated by the centuries-old architecture of
Venice and devoted her collection to this majestic city.
By special invitation, the show was also attended by the
official master of the ceremony of the Venice Carnival, Maurizio
Agosti.
The youngest participants of this season, 3-16-year old models
appeared on the catwalk dressed in stylish outfits from Xari BulBul
Model Agency.
Young models demonstrated both evening dresses and tracksuits
from the Meshque brand.
At the end of the fashion show, all models took to the podium in
Azerbaijani national costumes and raised the flags of fraternal
countries - Azerbaijan, Turkiye, and Pakistan.
Three debut collections at once were shown as part of a group
show of Manzar Zakizada Fashion school graduates. Roya Bashirova,
Ramilya Mehdiyeva, and Sultan Mammadova demonstrated collections in
different stylistic solutions - from elegant hijabs to classic red
velvet evening dresses and dresses with pop art illustrations.
The show of the Uzbek brand Irina Diosa featured a fantastic
dress inspired by the mythical Huma bird, known as one of the
symbols of Uzbekistan. The designer's mother and granddaughter
Jalin Palatkina worked on the collection.
Bright outfits from the classic Uzbek adras fabric were
decorated with additional elements of macrame and beads.
Next, the Azerbaijani brand La Shyla presented a collection of
women's underwear.
The event was closed by the Kazakh brand Asheri, which chose
modest fashion as its main activity - modest, decent fashion.
A few years ago, this concept was closely associated with
Islamic fashion, but today we can safely say that this segment also
attracts women of other faiths and life views - those who choose
delicate and modest outfits for personal reasons. However, the
founders of the brand, sisters Aliya Sanbayeva, and Aigul
Bekkaliyeva, do not hide the fact that they are also inspired by
such well-known world brands as Saint Laurent.
After the fashion shows, the embassy of Kazakhstan in Azerbaijan
organized a special reception in honor of the 30th anniversary of
the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
As part of the reception, AFW General Producer Sayat Dossybayev
was awarded a special diploma for his personal contribution to the
strengthening of friendly relations between fraternal peoples.
Notably, Sayat Dossybayev is also the founder of Kazakhstan
Fashion Week. Thanks to his work, Azerbaijan Fashion Week has
become a meeting venue for the fashion designers of the two
countries.
The day ended with a party at the Ruby 360 club.
