Life in the Regions: Zhibek Kadyrbekova Showcases Nomadic Culture Through Outfits
She was born on April 7, 1997, in Kara-Kul. In 2003, she began her education in the 1st grade at secondary school No. 3 named after M. Frunze, which she successfully completed in 2014 with a special certificate. In the same year, Zhibek enrolled in the Kyrgyz Technical University named after I. Razzakov in Bishkek, choosing the specialty "clothing designer" in the technological faculty. In 2018, she completed her studies and received her diploma.
Currently, Zhibek is married and has been working at the Creativity House named after Ch. Aitmatov in Kara-Kul since September 2023.
Her collection "The Soul of the Nomad" combines elements of ancient nomadic culture with modern fashion trends. The main materials used are natural wool and felt, which have been faithful companions of Kyrgyz nomads in their travels across the expanses of steppes and mountains for centuries. This collection embodies natural forces: mountains, sun, fire, wind, and the nomadic spirit. Each outfit is made from felt, reflecting various characters—from massive and monumental to light and airy—while the ornaments and colors create symbolic stories.
After completing her studies, Zhibek worked as a designer in a fashion house, and from 2018 to 2023, she was in Yekaterinburg, where she designed wedding dresses.
