Aliya Nazarbayeva joined forces with Forbes magazine at a lavish bash in downtown Almaty recently to present her top-end jewellery collection on home soil.
Nazarbayeva was presenting her Alsara collection, created in cooperation with Italy’s Damiani, at the launch of Forbes’ Kazakhstan edition on 8 September.
Almaty’s glitterati were out in force, including prominent opposition leader Bulat Abilov. That should go down well with the voters: seeing the wannabe politician hobnobbing with Kazakhstan’s rich and famous.
