Brussels hosts an exhibition of designers from Kazakhstan and Central Asia
An unusual exhibition has opened in Brussels on the Place du Sablon, in the famous Espace Intermediare Gallery. It presents products by designers from Kazakhstan, Mongolia and other Central Asian countries. The exhibition introduces Europeans to unique jewelry, as well as felt and wool clothing created using traditional techniques and materials. This project focuses on environmental aspects and recycling, which resonates with Europeans who are increasingly paying attention to ecology and sustainable consumption.
The organizers of the exhibition, representatives of the Central Asian Creative Center "Caravan of Cultures", set themselves the goal of conveying the culture and traditions of Central Asia to a wider audience, with an emphasis on Kazakhstan. This project will be held annually, and, according to the organizers, such events will help create a deeper understanding of the region and its rich history.
One of the brightest participants of the exhibition was a clothing designer who presented a collection combining modern style and elements of ethnic design. The idea of creating clothes from recycled materials came to her after a trip to Kazakhstan, where she discovered old blankets made from environmentally friendly camel wool. Inspired by this, she began to transform these products into stylish coats, which is already supported by fashion houses in Europe. Her work is actively supported in Belgium, France and Holland, where interest in such sustainable fashion trends is growing every year.
The exhibition also features jewelry made of silver with characteristic Kazakh ornaments. These products not only reflect the uniqueness of Kazakh culture, but are also adapted for the modern European consumer. A men's assortment was also created, including bracelets and pendants, which quickly gained popularity.
All these works embody not only style and art, but also the deep energy of the Great Steppe, which has become an important element in attracting European viewers. The exhibition, which will run until January 19, is a significant step in popularizing Central Asian culture in the international arena.
