MY FASHION NOTES
Fairy tale - ALTYNSHASH
2 chapter
I think that, this's possible to say, I'm very keen on Fashion.
May be better formula for me is - that Fashion is my Passion.
At first time I've discovered the world of fashion in 16 years old on courses of fashion French method Lin Jacques. Later when I was studying on third year of fashion design in Institute I made my first collection of black leather and chiffon with embroidery for the International Festival of Fashion " Season of East ".
Well, I was 21 years old, I was getting ready for my first fashion show of the collection before the mirror, I wore a short suede brick - colored skirt and black blouse, I made my hair in retro style, like Marlene Dietrich, Lyubov Orlova ( famous movie actresses 1930 years ), and I wore the medallion with antique coin.
My kazakh grandmother gifted me this antique Russian one ruble coin with an engraved head of Emperor Nicholas II for good fortune and happiness. Because the women our ancient khan family wore these coins to weave them into braids. The coins rang when they were touching in movement. My verse - White Swan : the chime of coins were woven in her braids...

And so, evening, fashion show, I've given parents my invitations, I was at the backstage Fashion Festival Season East - 95, I was preparing my collection for the show, next to me girl - model whom was ready to go on stage. And at that moment unknown for me man, but for the whole World of Fashion is very famous designer, elegantly dressed man with a memorable soft look velvet eyes, unusual eyes, very sophisticated dark amber color, spoke to me on English, carefully watching the fashion look which I've prepared for appearance on the stage. At that time I absolutely did not understand him, but because of friendly English speech and gestures I guessed that he liked my fashion. I was very confused and I could not answer only smiling, said : Thank You. Later I knew from my teacher that he liked and marked my collection of black leather and chiffon. At home I read the newspaper information about this talented well known all over the world designer and I was on seventh heaven because it was my first collection. Also I've taken the decision to study English language.
Usually, when I am dealing with person I always remember the eyes and later, any years will pass, as if changes will occur with all our physical appearance only the eyes will remain virtually the same.

fall - winter 1995 my first fashion look ( student work ) |
But just then, in 1995, my interest of the history our ancient origin khan's family and a passion read famous French novels became concept of my first fashion collection and resulted a symbiosis of national traditions and elements of French costume of the late 18 centure. Magical World of my books, smiled enigmatically, when I've worn a medallion with grandmother's coin for my first fashion show. And my grandmother's coin, really brought me happiness and good fortune.
But back to Paris in 2010, I studied fashion, learned to create fashion collections at the Post Graduate Programme Createur Couture in Fashion Institute and Arts.
From that memorable year in Paris I've created the fashion collections using the french method of creating silhouette and cutting. During last three years I've created six fashion collection, approximately 50 units of clothes by my hands from the beginning creation of the sketch in color, fabric selection, fabrication silhouette, cutting of unit of products and making the patterns to the end for ready to wear. I can say that over the last four years I've actively practiced the french method of creating a fashionable image. The first of all I created this image of woman in my mind. The image of woman meets the psychological image of woman who is happy, loves the world around her and I've continued the theme of International Woman who likes literature, arts, fashion, music. She found her own way in society and she understands the world through science and literature points of view. She is thinking about of globalisation and integration of the human society and she expresses herself through understanding the arts. She works with great pleasure. She wants to be useful for her family and for society. The main concept of my fashion design are geometric form, mosaic, modification and brise - like the butterfly has brought the feeling of the past time in our days. The silhouette is very simple and easy to perception.
FALL - WINTER 2012-13
