The Story of Lilia Palyunina: When Talent Becomes a BrandLilia Palyunina is the founder of the Tashkent-based conceptual brand Liliya Dulat. She has been presenting collections since 2009 — first under her own name, then under the current label. Today, Liliya Dulat works with international showrooms and is building its distribution abroad, while remaining an Uzbek brand with production based in Tashkent. We spoke with Lilia about how a distinctive creative voice is born, why a brand needs a team, and what the words Made in Uzbekistan mean to her.Alfiya Kalmaganbetova#HD View#People & Communities
