Laman Ismayilova read more Fashion industry in Azerbaijan has been steadily growing in
recent years, with both local and international brands flocking
into the fashion scene.
Azerbaijan Fashion Week became a significant turning point for
the country's fashion industry.
This annual event has played a key role in promoting the
country's fashion scene, paving the way for new designers, models,
and brands.
From boho chic outfits to stunning gowns inspired by carpet
elements, Azerbaijan Fashion Week 2023 has demonstrated variety of
stylish outfits at the Stone Chronicle Museum.
Fashion is not only high art, but also a profitable business -
this is how the main theme of the 14th season has been
outlined.
The first day of fashion week featured fashion shows by local
and international designers.
Traditionally, each season starts with the presentation of
clothing collections for little fashionistas. Fashion brands
Kharibulbul (Azerbaijan), A.Sain and Turan Agency (Kazakhstan) left
fashion lovers in awe.
Head of the Center for Azerbaijan National Clothes, fashion
designer Gulnara Khalilova presented her fashion collection
"Cizgi".
Her new collection included stylish outfits with both national
carpet elements and timeless plaid and polka dot prints.
The collection from Russian-French couturier Naz Maer was no
less impressive. Without exaggeration, he can be called the godson
of the inimitable Jean-Paul Gaultier, under whom Naz Maer worked
for seven years, creating collections for his fashion House.
As part of the Azerbaijan Fashion Week 2023, Naz Maer
demonstrated stunning evening gowns, embroidered with sequins and
stones, and decorated with feathers and fringe.
Famous Kazakhstani designer Alexey Chzhen presented his new boho
collection on the AFW catwalk.
As the designer himself admitted, despite the fact that most of
his collections are traditionally created in black, this season he
felt an inner need to turn to white.
The collection does not have any deep philosophical meaning;
rather, the designer was attracted by the lightness of the texture
of the fabrics. Black and white colors added a sense of elegance
and beauty to the fashion collection.
Fashion School by Menzer Zakizade presented a collective show of
the debut collections of three of their students - the IENA brand
created by Ellada Mahmudova, the Sultan brand and designer Turkay
Mehbalizade.
Kazakh designer Lariya Jakambayeva presented her free-cut
collection, made in mustard-beige-brown shades. Unique headdresses
in different shapes and texture, as well as opera gloves
immediately grabbed the public attention.
Kazakh designer Zherebtsov captivated fashionistas with his
fashion collection inspired by the African safari. His new
collection, made from Italian linen, is designed for rest and
relaxation.
During the runway show, models made an endless movement in a
circle, plunging the guests of the show into a unique
atmosphere.
The evening ended with an after-party at the Zafferano
restaurant, where AFW guests enjoyed delicious dishes and wonderful
music by DJ Edward Acid.
