On 31 October, we invite you to celebrate the legacy of Alla Ilchun during a special event. 

With her striking presence and distinctive beauty, she became one of the most recognisable faces of the House of Dior. 

Her story brings together different places, cultures and generations. A story that connects East and West, past and present, and continues to resonate today. Upon arrival, you will receive a welcome drink. Through a special presentation, a fashion show, and Kazakh and European music, we will celebrate her lasting influence.

Whether you are already familiar with Alla Ilchun or are discovering her for the first time, join us for this special event, brought together by Qazaq Roots in Ghent.
