Georgia’s designers — and other creatives — are refusing to admit defeat in the face of COVID-19.
LONDON — This week, Tbilisi’s up-and-coming fashion designers would have been welcoming international guests to their hometown to unveil their fall 2020 collections in a new cultural center at the heart of the Georgian capital.
Despite those challenges, “I had so much time to think about exactly what I want to do and how I want to do it. One thing which I’m certain: Georgia needs is a fashion school. Most designers are self-taught here and they need to be educated and to have contact with people from as many different countries, so it would have to be an international school,” she said.In addition to the school, there could be a host of activities taking place within the space year-round, as well as the seasonal fashion shows.
When it comes to the city’s fashion week, the aim is to streamline the schedule and look at the five-day event as a form of cultural exchange and a platform to introduce an international audience to Tbilisi, a city and culture that remains under the radar, despite its rich layers of history under Persian and Russian rule, and its diverse architecture, influenced by the Eastern Orthodox Church, art nouveau and Soviet modernism.
