The Latest in Fashion

Kazakhstan will unveil a unique cultural initiative, Alemdi tankaldyrgan Kazakh azheleri (Grandmothers Who Amazed the World), at two of Europe's most prestigious fashion events-Paris Fashion Week and Milan Fashion Week, according to Kazinform News Agency, citing the Kazakh Culture and Information Ministry.

 
Twenty women aged 60 to 74 were selected through a nationwide casting to represent Kazakhstan at both fashion weeks, where they will present the Ak Marzhan collection.
 
The project is led by renowned designer Raushan Anuarbekova, a member of the Eurasian Union of Designers and an academician of the National Design Academy. Known for contemporary collections inspired by Kazakh traditions, her work has previously been showcased on the runways of Milan Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, and Aspara Fashion Week.
 
A fashion show and documentary featuring a group of seniors from Almaty were previously presented in Dubai.
