UZBEK TRADITIONAL TEXTILE MOTIFS IN MODERN FASHION

Abstract

Traditional Uzbek textile motifs, known for their vibrant colors, symbolic patterns, and deep cultural meanings, have long represented the artistic identity of Central Asia. In recent years, the integration of these motifs into modern fashion has gained global attention, reflecting a growing interest in cultural heritage and sustainable design. This paper explores the historical roots of Uzbek textile art — including ikat, suzani, and atlas — and analyzes how contemporary designers reinterpret these elements within modern aesthetics. Through a combination of cultural analysis and design examples, the study highlights the relevance of traditional patterns in shaping a unique fashion identity that bridges history and innovation.
