This week, the international Fashion Week in Kazakhstan and Central Asia (also known as Visa Fashion Week Almaty) is taking place.
Since 2019, the event has been a means for designers to attract foreign buyers and media, and to act as a bridge between the local market and international trends.
It’s also home to the Next Designer Award. This year, the winners were young brand Four Nest, who premiered a collection titled "Tears of Kazakhstan" that was dedicated to the environment, and featured torched fabrics, sharp shapes, transparent materials, and photorealistic prints, with some images even resembling giant bin bags.
