- project «QAZAQANALARY». 12 designers from the regions of the republic
took part in its creation. Their task was to create the image of a woman-mother, the
keeper of the hearth. A mother who accepted all the hardships of fate with dignity.
A mother who multiplies the healthy generation of Kazakhstan. The uniqueness of
the project was that the designer's clothes were demonstrated by members of the
Active Recreation Center for Pensioners. The oldest model of the project was born
in 1947. Foreign fashion experts and spectators of the show were touched by the
sedateness, nobility and dignity of the Kazakh woman. And today, several years
later, the demand for different age groups of models is gaining momentum not only
in Kazakhstan, but also around the world. In the XIV season, 5 Kazakhstani
designers will present their author's collections to 5 groups of age models from all
over Kazakhstan. Thanks to ASPARA FASHION WEEK, not only Kazakhstani
designers, but also age models of Kazakhstan have the right to participate in the
International catwalks.
- project «QAZAQ MEN». The collection of men's clothing in the neo-folklore
style was created to demonstrate masculinity, brutality and a unique national
identity of the owners of the Great Steppe.
- project «Қазақтың келіндері». The collection of women's clothing in the neo-
folklore style is created to demonstrate femininity, tenderness, wisdom and a
unique national identity of the beauties of the Great Steppe.
The programs of the fashion week, as a rule, include free seminars on the projects
of the International Trade Centre Ready4 Trade Central Asia on entering the world
market and USAID Trade Promotion Service Providers, on promoting exports on a
grant basis for domestic manufacturers, master classes, showrooms, conversations
with experts in the fashion industry.
A bright event in the program of the XIV season was the fashion show dedicated to
the memory of Alla Ilchun (Pearl of Dior) - a Kazakh, a professional model.
15 leading designers of Kazakhstan presented stylized models, which Dior's muse
Alla once shone on international catwalks.
And now the 15th anniversary season will be held on April 23-25 in sacred
Turkestan.
The city of Turkestan has a rich history and has long been considered a craft
and trade center of the Great Silk Road. Pottery, glass casting, textile, felt
products, sericulture and jewelry, as well as wood products took place in
everyday life. The masters left behind a great creative legacy.
The new season of ASPARA FASHION WEEK KARAVANSARAY
TURKESTAN will continue to breathe new life into such a dialogue of culture,
in which fashion and cultures of different countries, peoples and continents will
converge. The purpose of the 15th season of ASPARA FASHION WEEK is to
create an atmosphere of national values and develop an understanding that
one's own ethnocultural coexistence is impossible without a respectful and
careful attitude to the values of other peoples. Turkestan, once known as the
"city of merchants"; and standing at the crossroads of great trade routes, world
civilizations and cultures, is one of the oldest cities in Kazakhstan, with a rich
