Rosy Rymbayeva's daughter-in-law emerges victorious in a virtual contest, as videography confirms (VIDEO)
In a recent video, Kazakhstani kobyz player Akerke Burkitbayeva showcased the latest fashion trend in Kazakhstan, a fusion of contemporary styles with traditional cultural elements. The video, titled "Kazakh Chic," has garnered attention for its unique blend of modern and traditional elements.
The black attire worn by Akerke aligns with the modern Kazakh trend of combining sleek, minimalist silhouettes and rich textures that evoke heritage influences in a sophisticated, avant-garde manner. The video, which features Akerke accessorized with national jewelry and sporting trendy makeup, has been well-received by netizens, with one comment reading, "So beautiful."
The video also marks an unexpected initiative by Rima Rymbaeva, Akerke's granddaughter, who took the lead in its production. The video's release coincides with a broader trend seen in Kazakhstan's fashion scene that carefully balances respect for cultural heritage with the demands of contemporary urban style.
This fusion is evident in the minimalist, elegant pieces in black and other neutral tones that emphasize clean lines and tailored fits. The blend of traditional motifs or fabrics with modern cuts, creating a “Neo-folk” style, modernizes Kazakh cultural dress without losing its roots. Use of high-quality textiles, sometimes sustainable or artisanal, reflects a global trend towards ethical and refined fabric selection. Incorporation of digital elements in fashion presentations highlights Kazakhstan’s embrace of innovation alongside tradition.
The video also marks a significant moment for Akerke's family, as her grandson visited ancestral land for the first time. The exact details of this visit are not provided, but it underscores the connection between Kazakh fashion and the country's cultural heritage.
