The Kazakhstan Fashion Week, which started 17 years ago, is a national project.

Designers came together to support young talent and showcase their creations.

Models get ready for a show backstage. 

Models get their make up and hair done. 

The collection saw several dramatic silhouettes. 

But the audience couldn't take their eyes away from that ceiling at the National Academical Theater of Opera and Ballet. Stunning, isn't it?
