Zamira Komilova
Zamira Komilova carries forward Uzbekistan’s ancient legacy of carpet weaving, a tradition rooted in patience, precision, and artistry. Each loom—wound with care—sets the stage for months of meticulous knotting, weaving, and trimming.
Sevinch Bazarova
Sevinch Bazarova’s work honors Uzbek and Tajik traditions with every stitch. Using techniques like naqqosh (pattern-making) and kashida (embroidery), her garments transform hand-selected fabrics into wearable pieces of history. Sourced from the bazaars of Urgut and crafted with intention, her creations celebrate family, heritage, and life’s most meaningful moments.
