On May 22, in Tashkent, on the closing day of Visa Fashion Week Tashkent, a large-scale fashion show by Department Store PODIUM — one of Uzbekistan’s leading luxury retailers — took place at the JW Marriott Hotel Tashkent.
In Partnership with Ipak YULI Bank
For the first time, PODIUM presented its own runway show as part of Visa Fashion Week Tashkent
bringing together the latest global fashion trends, original styling, and the atmosphere of contemporary Tashkent culture.
said Dmitry Mashchenko, CEO of PODIUM.
With its large-scale event infrastructure and minimalist visual environment, the hotel became the perfect setting for a new visual interpretation of the PODIUM fashion show.
The show venue was the JW Marriott Hotel Tashkent — one of the city’s new landmark destinations, reflecting modern architecture, the international rhythm of the capital, and the aesthetics of the new Tashkent.

The main inspiration behind the styling was the aesthetics of the desert, natural sand tones, and organic textures, reinterpreted through the lens of contemporary high fashion. The runway featured looks with feathers, sequin embroidery, intricate textures, and expressive decorative elements reflecting the key Spring–Summer 2026 trends.
The project brought together collections from leading European luxury brands officially represented within the PODIUM retail network, styled by the company’s team of stylists and buyers.
Guests of the evening included representatives of the entertainment, fashion, and cultural industries, Tashkent’s social elite, international guests, and fashion week partners. The PODIUM show became the culmination of the fashion show series within Visa Fashion Week Tashkent and gathered more than 900 guests.
