Abstract
The focus of this thesis is to explore the possibilities of integrating traditional Uzbek fabrics into modern clothing designs. While some designers have begun to experiment with materials such as atlas in contemporary garments—jeans, jackets, shirts, and casual wear—the systematic evaluation of how national textiles can be adapted to modern fashion contexts remains underdeveloped in both scholarship and practice. Therefore, this research aims to bridge the traditional and the modern by assessing the aesthetic, cultural, and practical aspects of using Uzbek traditional fabrics in contemporary apparel. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential for creating modern clothing that incorporates traditional Uzbek textiles and motifs while preserving cultural authenticity and meeting contemporary fashion standards. To accomplish this, the research examines historical context, design principles, production methods, and consumer perceptions
