The designers believe the growing interest of young people in the Circassian costume makes it possible to say that the national clothes have a good future.
The show organized by activists from the youth band "Nart Khaku" was held on September 27, on the eve of the Day of Circassian Costume.
"As far as I remember, no interregional show of Circassian designers has ever been organized. And we decided to fill the gap," the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told by Astemir Shebzukhov, one of the show organizers.
According to him, the number of the designers who presented their works includes experienced masters and beginners, for whom "the show is a good platform for showing their models."
