The article examines the development and creation of artworks based on the study of the artistic heritage of the Mayan civilization. This work was conducted within the framework of a clothing design course, incorporating artistic embroidery, artistic lace-making and artistic fabric painting. The implementation of this unique project by a team of students and faculty from the Russian university of traditional art crafts included research into artistic images and motifs, interpretation of symbolism and mastering the principles of geometric tailoring and compositional form construction. The project culminated in a collection of eight garments inspired by the artistic legacy of the Mayan civilization. The pieces were decorated using traditional regional and historical techniques of artistic embroidery, artistic lace-making and artistic fabric painting. The collection was first presented in Paris in March 2026.
