Gaziza Muratbayeva a lecturer at the Department of Fine Arts and Design of Mukhtar Auezov South Kazakhstan Research University, presented her works at the 9th TÜRKSOY Women’s and Ethnic Fashion Week in Ankara, showcasing the artistic potential of traditional crafts on the international stage.
Held on 7 October 2026, at the Esterghon Turkish Culture Centre in Ankara, the capital of Türkiye, the international fashion week was dedicated to promoting the national costume heritage of Turkic peoples. The event was organised by the International Organization of Turkic Culture (TÜRKSOY) with the support of the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TİKA). It featured traditional costume designs representing 11 countries and republics.
At the TÜRKSOY Ethnic Costume Show “The Great Silk Road” the national identity, ornamental patterns and traditional craftsmanship of different peoples were harmoniously combined with contemporary fashion design. The historical legacy of the Great Silk Road, which connected peoples and cultures for centuries, was brought to life through national costumes and ethnodesign creations. Kazakhstan was represented at the international fashion week by four designers: Aizhan Abdubaitova, Saule Bapanova, Tarbie Aidymbayeva and Gaziza Muratbayeva from Shymkent.
Gaziza Muratbayeva presented works distinguished by delicate embroidery on handwoven fabrics. Her creative practice highlights the artistic potential of traditional materials and craftsmanship techniques. The combination of national motifs with contemporary clothing design demonstrates that traditional art can continue to hold a meaningful place in today’s fashion industry.
National costume is a cultural heritage that embodies a people’s historical memory, aesthetic values, and cultural identity. Ornamental patterns, embroidery and traditional weaving reflect the continuity of craftsmanship passed down from generation to generation. Incorporating this heritage into contemporary design not only preserves its traditional essence but also opens up new artistic possibilities.
Gaziza Muratbayeva’s professional activities encompass both creative practice and academic research. In a study published in a scientific journal of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University in 2025, she was listed among the authors who examined ethnic style in contemporary fashion, traditional materials and the transformation of cultural symbols.
The participation of a university lecturer in an international creative platform provides an opportunity to promote national art and showcase the potential of Kazakhstan’s ethnodesign. Such experience also helps strengthen professional connections and highlight the place of traditional craftsmanship in the contemporary fashion industry.
The value of national art lies not only in its historical roots but also in its ability to evolve with the times and continue through the creativity of new generations. Design explorations that combine tradition and innovation help showcase Kazakhstan’s cultural identity and ensure the continued vitality of its national heritage.
