Asya Bazhan, a well-known costume designer, fashion and personal stylist, gave an open lecture at KNRTU. The event gathered together not only fashion industry specialists, but also those interested in this issue. According to Albina Azanova, Chair of Light Industry Technology and Materials Department. this is a great opportunity for the audience to communicate with a professional in the field of style and fashion, seminars and public speeches which are held throughout Russia. At KNRTU, Asya spoke about cyclicity in the fashion industry.

As it turns out, fashion is not about new trends that everyone wants to follow, but about well forgotten old styles – as professionals say, vintage.

The meeting was held in a dialogue format. The speaker repeatedly addressed the audience not only with questions, but also with relevant topics to hear the opinion of the audience.

The discussion about of the “What is core” aroused special interest. We also talked about the importance of memes for fashion.

“Now is the time when people themselves become trendsetters, stylists and designers peek at interesting trends and put them into circulation. We are living in the era of so-called metamodernism, when there is not only mix of styles, but also frequent reference to the themes of a hundreds and more years ago: in fact, a person cannot visualize what he has never seen and then he synthesizes what he has already seen, and everything new is a combination of details of past eras”, says Asya Bazhan.
