Meet Sogul - an adventurer, documentary filmmaker, yogini and fashion designer. Today she is doing a film in Sicily’s grape farm, a month ago was in Kyrgyzstan where her headpiece and vest is from, then earlier this year she was at Pakistan - Afganistan border living one month with a women tribe from Kalash Vally... @sogol.khalkhalian doesn’t just make documentary films for @natgeo she gets to truly learn about the people and tastes their culture in the most authentic way. When Sogul was younger, she always got herself in all sorts of trouble (I relate:), her mother signed her to started yoga and it made her more connected to the universe around her and taught her to be happy in her own solitude. This served as the first true inspiration for a life of adventure, traveling and she kept exploring the world - the soul of the planet. For this portrait we celebrate the Kyrgyz headpiece and vest which are such ornate and unique. The local materials are cotton, fur, leather, velvet, etc, which are often used to make headdresses. Also, these pieces are usually decorated with embroidery, beading, appliqué, fur trimming, and various other embellishments. The ornamentation is typical for the local culture and beliefs. It was genuine connection - and excitement having Sogul brought such magnificent pieces and to add my own take on it and it’s just the beginning of our collaboration 🤍 🪶🕯Dubai, my studio is again open this weekend and you are most welcome to use code: Nomadic Soul to use 20% off - check availability in the link in my bio.
