I am Karine Ramazanova, a Dagestani designer of clothing, scarves, and jewelry, and the creator of the “LezgiSumakh” project. My work features original prints on scarves and clothing, inspired by traditional carpet patterns from Southern Dagestan. I found inspiration for my unique collection of scarves with carpet prints in our family heirloom – the “Kapir” pattern carpet, woven by my mother-in-law to celebrate the birth of our first daughter, Fatima. My project aims to popularize the culture of carpet weaving in Southern Dagestan, reinterpret it, and integrate it into modern life, which is dynamic yet needs a connection to our roots for harmony with oneself and the world. I believe I have successfully reimagined this ancient art for modern times, and my creations appeal to people with a sense of style and taste.
