“Tashkent Art Week has awoken regional aspirations for fashion and attracts global attention. Its concept is totally different from that of fashion weeks. It is where art mingles with fashion, photography, music and exhibitions. Thanks to grants provided by the Fund Forum, one of the organizers of the Week, many local textile traditions have been revived. This is one of the goals given to the event.”
