Nomad fashion show mixes ancient, modern

CHOLPON-ATA, Kyrgyzstan (AP) — On the shore of a single of the world’s deepest lakes, substantial up in Kyrgyzstan’s Tian Shan mountains, types strutted and sashayed in outfits mixing the historic and contemporary at the Entire world Nomads Trend competition.

The occasion, now in its third calendar year, drew designers and fashion-sector figures from about 20 countries to shimmering Lake Issyk-Kul to admire outfits drawing on Kyrgyzstan’s millennia-outdated nomadic culture.

The stiletto heels worn by some versions wouldn’t be ideal for a appropriate nomad, but some of their elaborate headdresses that seemed to mimic the horns of cattle had been normally takes on regular nomad costume. Swirling, voluminous skirts showcased in quite a few of the outfits, either elaborately patterned or in blocks of vivid colour.

Together with the couture, the present made available visitors the opportunity to see an array of yurts — the wooden-framed tents of pores and skin or felt attribute of nomads — and brightly colored carpets.
