During Fall 2022, Silvia Furmanovich debuted a new collection of homewear entitled Silk Road, created expressly for Bergdorf Goodman in New York City.
The collection is inspired by Furmanovich’s latest travels to several historical cities throughout Uzbekistan - including Tashkent, Samarkand, and Khiva - where the Silk Road played a critical role.
The term "Silk Road," or Seidenstrasse, was first introduced in 1877 by the German geographer Ferdinand Paul Wilhelm. Much more than silk was traded along this 4,000-mile ancient trade route between China and the Roman Empire - there was also lapis, turquoise, and gold - and it was richer still in the exchange of ideas and concepts.
The collection reflects a fascination with the interchange of ideas and concepts, as well as the cross-pollination of cultures, which has been central to Furmanovich’s oeuvre.
