Set within the Sala delle a Colonne of the National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci, “Crossroads of Style. Designers of Central Asia&Modest Fashion” took place, a collective fashion show dedicated to the SS27 collections, in a dialogue between tradition, culture and contemporary vision through the universal language of fashion. Seven designers brought to the runway the vibrancy of the Central Asian fashion scene, new and interesting synergies between Asian and European styles, and the diverse expressions of international Modest Fashion.

Representing the new wave of Kazakh creativity were Aida Kaumenova, Kamalini, and ShakerBaY. Enriching the fashion show with further creative perspectives were the collections by REVE, from St. Petersburg, and SA_Marail Design, from Moscow, both embodying a style that bridges Asia and Europe. From the Republic of Ingushetia came Puti Tenk and Aynaeva Wedding, two brands connected to the international Modest Fashion scene, bringing their own distinctive interpretation of contemporary elegance to the runway.

The SS27 collections presented seven distinct creative identities, united by a desire to tell the story of Kazakhstan through a contemporary vision, one that looks to the future while without losing touch with its roots. Each collection offered a distinctive interpretation of this emerging fashion scene: feminine silhouettes, exquisite details, references to tradition and contemporary elegance came together to create unique and sophisticated expressions of style.

The location dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci, a symbol of creativity, curiosity and innovation, provided an ideal setting for a dialogue between tradition and the modernity. An event that becomes a true crossroads of style and identity, where fashion turns into a story of cultural exchange and a meeting point between distant worlds, confirming the growing international interest in Central Asian creativity.
