Elle Magazine Showcases Georgian Fashion

Demna Gvasalia, the famous Georgian fashion designer, has really made it big time within the world of fashion. Earlier this month, he won the International Award at the world-famous CFDA Awards. Elle.com used this news to create an article on Georgian fashion, and just how much the country has moved forward and became one of the main players of international fashion.

"I could never do this job without such a fascination of how clothes can change us and how we can use them as powerful tools of communication and self-expression," the Balenciaga and Vetements designer said upon accepting the award. "My hope is that we can continue to move fashion forward by acknowledging the importance of its human factor."

The article goes on to highlight some other current important names within the Georgian fashion industry.

‘Designers like Mariam Gvasalia and Ani Datukishvili are looking to expand beyond the confines of the country to pave their own ways on an international platform. And with their raw designs, creative spirit, and passionate voices, they're making themselves heard’, the article goes on to say.

Some of these talented designers have showcased their clothes both at Tbilisi Fashion Week, and for the magazine themselves, with photos taken around Tbilisi, showing the distinct style of clothes and the picturesque views on the capital – ‘Here, we celebrate the beauty of Georgia's capital, Tbilisi―a city flush with experimental fashion, arresting street style, complicated history, and gorgeous landscapes―by photographing Georgian models wearing Georgian designers at some of Georgia's most famous landmarks.’
