Students of the Yerevan State Academy of Fine Arts and their
instructors will present fashions from Armenia in New England on
Sunday, Oct. 10, at 5 p.m. at National Heritage Museum in Lexington.
This event, the first of its kind to be held in the U.S., has peaked
public interest.
Coordinating the program will be four accomplished designers from
Armenia who will present their unique fashions. Nune Aghbalyan and
Anna Panosyan, instructors at the Academy's Textile Department,
have resumes that include degrees and design coursework in Berlin,
Paris and Barcelona. Kevork Chadoian, 30-year-old, brilliant designer
and 2004 graduate from the Academy will present an elegantly designed
"Armenian Wedding Suite." ATEX Fashion Salon proprietor Karine Hakobyan
will show her beautiful collection which will include unique fashions
embellished with Marash and Aintab embroideries.
The Fashion and Textile Design Chair was joined to the Design
Department of the Academy in 1999 after overcoming great hardships.
The department aims to give students a sound education, emphasizing
theory and practice a free way of thinking about composition, and
insight on how to find correct functional solutions.
