Ikat textiles, known as abr in their lands of origin in Central
Asia, are beloved by collectors, decorators and textile devotees
across the world. This book presents a new approach to the
intricately patterned silk textiles by focusing on complete robes
from a major Russian collection. These items of clothing tell
stories about their wearers: their home, identity and place in
society. By studying the history, making, and changing fashions of
ikat robes, the past is brought to life. It quickly becomes clear
that the power and influence of Central Asian costume reached far
beyond the borders of modern Uzbekistan, inspiring imitations and
providing visual stimuli for avant-garde
artists.    With stunning photography and
previously unpublished research findings, this publication is a new
take on ikat costume for those interested in the history of
textiles and fashion, but also for those wishing to admire the
sheer beauty and exquisite craftsmanship of these remarkable
textiles.
