The State Museum of Oriental Art in Moscow hosted an exhibition of designer costumes created by students of the Carl Fabergé College of Decorative and Applied Arts. The show was organized as part of an art project dedicated to the cultural traditions of Central Asia and the Caucasus: "White Gold. Cotton in the Art of the Soviet East."

The six best outfits were selected based on a vote on the museum's Telegram channel. The collection, which the future designers worked on for over six months, was the result of an in-depth study of the cultures of the region's peoples and embodied their rich heritage in a contemporary form.

A work featuring Turkmen motifs created by student Varvara Zotova attracted particular attention from visitors and critics. The designer sought to give the national costume a contemporary look: she infused traditional geometric patterns with flowing lines while maintaining the characteristic loose fit and respect for the original. Minimalistic elements and pastel shades gave the outfit a modern look.

Varvara Zotova, who incorporated Turkmen motifs into her costume, noted that the project allowed her to deepen her interest in Eastern culture and acquire invaluable practical skills. The management of the Museum of Oriental Art highly praised the collaboration with the college, emphasizing that such projects contribute to the development of students' professional competencies and demonstrate the uniqueness and quality of each costume.
