      National art is solid in cultural and artistic respects of layer the specific world perception kin group of people. Precisely in national art preserve the relation of time, historical memory of generations, national world outlook. National art has the greatest cognitive, educational and developing possibilities. [1] Skills of ornamental art and art of sew national clothes which handing from generation to generation as national customs and traditions, because the ornament for Kazakhs- it is philosophical beginning of art. The great scientist A.H/ Margulan wrote “Kazakh live in the world of pattern” that is say about spiritual riches of peoples. [2] Researchers of art and ethnographers distinguish the following main components of Kazakh ornament:

       Zoo morpheme- muiz-horn; khos-muiz –double horn; kynyr or synykh muiz- broken horn; and also he representation separately part of camel’s neck; birds: khus-khanat- bird’s wings; khaz-moin- geese’s’ vides and etc.

       Plant- leaves, palmist, trefoil. buds, flowers. Their weaving is opened in Kazakh ornament as concept of unity, coordination, reason-investigatory of limit the life on the planet.

         Geometrical-rhombs, zigzags, triangles, polyhedral meanapolic patterns (Shynzhara, baldakh) net crossing lines. [3] 

      How these patterns combination of each other and the complement of one another, obey the laws of composition. Say the ornamatic practical all goods of    Kazakh national applied art, decorating and embellishments costume. Exceptional manifestation material culture is Kazakh national costume. Aesthetic ideal of people are found their reflection in it, its mode of life social equivalents. The costume distinguishing brilliantly feature and play appointed role in preservation and consolidation ethnic self-knowledge of nation, on a level with conversation speech, anthropological indicators serve stable definitions, from which distinguish their from another’s person, for it’s characterized community forms for all the various strata of population    with appointed age regulation. The Kazakh national costume is preserved wholly for nowadays, especially at elderly par of nations in the countryside. Here and there, Kazakh wear modern costume chapan fling-robe, takia round-tyubeteika, khalpakh-hat with velvety flaps trimming, boric-cap, narrow strip of expensive fur sews on trimming of clothes tymakh-triangle cap, saptama-boots and etc.

      National traditions are preserved in modern stylized clothes develop the assembling rational cutting out, unity   of form and systems of arts and crafts of national costume.  In addition should be marking that complex of Kazakhs’ clothes construct compled with European forms with elements of traditional costume with appreciation of different age groups. Using motives of Kazakh national ornaments in modern clothes, for the first time is offered by Irina Aleksandrovna Dobrohotova- Maikova is an art adviser of Kaz. SSR Republican House of Models in 1970-1980. Ornament is presented as a part of decorative structure of costume and its rhythmical formation; sometimes ornamental motives acquire status of composition centre in collection of modern designers.

    Younger designers offer perfectly other conception of using ornamental motives in their collections. It consist in that element of ornament is not a part of trimming decorative structure of costume, and set in base of its silhouette form. Of course in addition change scale of ornament in respect of person’s figure, the silhouette of costume is acquired more compound, even perceptive character.

       Stability of form achievement on vesult of using thickness of felt which is substitute for traditional felt, but thickness of it’s structure to some extent to soft trail, exquisite, surface of net.

    There is abstraction to principle departure from stereotype using of elements find it new place in structure of costume and change the decorative function to formation. The aspiration to novelty on already existing diversity assortments, form, cutting out, lead  the designers to combine and compound combination of elements different stylistic direction within quit forming composition and constructive form.

    Increase the role texture of materials, trimming and décor, costume jeweler and furniture. In search of source fresh ideas of disiners perfectly normally appeal to traditions of ethnic culture to the “folk” style. The peculiarities of ornamental form underline the expressiveness trimming, twinkling bunding.

    The role of composition centre plays the ornamental elements which Kazakh used on sewing the clothes. Separately accents can let out with the help of brightly strazes (artificiality stone is made of glass) choosing contrasting time to time. The colour not only is contrasted but it forms, volume, relief. Cutting out and insists of exquisite form are presented and remember about inlaid work, jewelry make about irrigation ceramics carving models of Asian mausoleums.  In this case ornamentally is not coloured and multicoloured it has muffle character.

    The shade mother-of-pearl, anthracite, covering platinum bronze, burnished steel, burned clay, terracotta, elephant bones, forest nutshell, glaze by ceramics are found widely using.

    In this way modern Kazakh costume with pattern is a synthesis of European clothes from the most fashionable podium and Kazakh national ornamental elements. All of them are incarnated with the help of boundless imagination of young designers.
