New collection of Azerbaijan’s famous designer Gulnara Khalilova will be presented at the 4th Eurasian international clothes festival "Silk Road."

The stylish event will be held in Urumqi, China between August 29 and September 2.

The main organizers of the festival are the People's Government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, Textile Industry Association of China and others.

The annual Silk Road festival pays tribute to the enduring influence of this ancient way. The Clothes Festival presents thoroughly modern fashion shows and industry fairs.

Last year Khalilova was awarded "Master Exhibition & Performance Award" at the third Eurasian Silk Road festival. She demonstrated her peculiar handmade knitted dresses and national and evening dresses.

Khalilova's work of national collection can be found in Egypt, the library of Alexandria, the Cultural Center of Istanbul, and the cultural centers of various cities in the U.S.

The designer took part in preparing the classic Azerbaijani operetta "Arshin mal alan" by famous composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov staged at the 100th anniversary of the State Theatre of Musical Comedy, where she created costumes.

Her works are also very popular in collections of famous Turkish public figures, representatives of culture and art Ajda Pekkan, Emrah Erdogan, Beyazit Ozturk, Soner Sarikabadayi, and others.
