May 30, Ashgabat, /Arzuw NEWS/. An exhibition dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Independence, the 25th anniversary of Neutrality and the 2021 motto "Turkmenistan - the Homeland of Peace and Trust" was launched today at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Turkmenistan.
The chairman and members of the Mejlis of the National Council of Turkmenistan, deputy chairmen of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan, heads of ministries and departments, representatives of foreign embassies and organizations, representatives of local and international mass media were invited to the multifaceted exhibition.
Every year on the last Sunday of May Turkmenistan celebrates the Turkmen Carpet Festival. The exhibition featured a variety of handmade carpets, including ancient carpets brought from provincial museums. Also during the exhibition visitors could see products of private enterprises, national textile complex and other artistic products.
Also, the results of the "Bagtyýar zamananyň döwrebap lybaslary" contest held earlier among fashion houses were summarized during the event. The outfits of the winners - "Mähirli Zenan", "Nurland" and "Nagyşly Güzer" - were shown on the catwalk.
Arzuw NEWS correspondent talked to some of the participants of the event. One of them is Lacın Beglieva, a fashion designer of the clothing and sewing brand "Nur Ýüpek":
I am currently in my final year of fashion design studies in Milan, Italy. Women's beauty in clothing has had an influence on me since I was a child, and I wanted to change the attitude of sophisticated evening dress styles to practical ones. I prefer minimalism in my designs. And Turkmen ladies like it quite a lot. My main goal in designing and sewing dresses is to wear them several times, not to leave them in the closet for many years. The combination of western and national styles gives an unusual look and retains value for a long time. In the meantime, I plan to practice for a few more years before I open my own boutique.
Since its establishment in 2017, "Nur Ýüpek" has been one of the leading domestic apparel brands with branches all over the country.
Dmitry Filipchenko - creative director of the Madi art studio told us about a new direction in painting. It is called "Art in Velvet":
Since there is no one in Turkmenistan yet who is engaged in this kind of art, we can safely call this a new trend. Considering that velvet is widely used in traditional Turkmen dresses, I am sure that art lovers will soon take notice. It takes about 2 weeks to create a typical dimensional portrait, and prices vary depending on the genre, details and other wishes of the customer. I've been painting for over four years, and my wife and I run a family art studio where she does embroidery crafts. Surrealism and abstraction, recognized worldwide, dominate my paintings and interiors. I love my work and look forward to expanding our art business internationally.
The exhibition will continue tomorrow until 17:00.
I visited this wonderful exhibition. The author of the article introduced us well to all aspects of it and provided interesting interviews.
