A few weeks ago at MBFW I had the amazing opportunity to be second row at fashion designer Zoltsetseg's most recent runway show. She has made it her personal goal to bring a modern yet traditional Mongolian aesthetic into her collections, as seen on the runway this past February. In the hopes of achieving this very unique and ethnic look, she uses many materials that would typically contrast rather than cooperate, such as felt, wool, leather, and cashmere. Currently one of the most successful designers in Mongolia, Ms. Zoltsetseg is the first Mongolian brand to ever present at NY Fashion Week.
In an ode to her culture and background, and the inspiration for her latest collection, she began the show with some traditional Mongolian entertainment. The presentation began with a Mongolian singer, followed by a tribal-painted acrobat performer. There was some heavy tribal influence seen in the gold makeup and the long braids worn by the models, yet the collection itself was extremely modern.
