Fashion, Apparel and Garment Design The Silk Road Womenswear Collection by Alsu Biryukova The Great Silk Road is a womenswear collection inspired by the historic trade route that linked East and West. The collection consists of twenty garments, including hats. Each piece is made of natural fabrics and decorated by hand with natural silk ribbons. The headdresses are made entirely by hand from silk fabrics of different textures. The patterns repeat the wind on desert sands, the rice terraces of China and the lines of rock faults. Each item is presented as a postcard from a travel destination. The couture garments can be combined and worn in daily life.
