Dena Silver, the senior editor writing for the publication’s Style section, was among the visiting reporters covering the annual fashion event that concluded in Tbilisi on Monday.

Editors, buyers, famous Instagrammers and photographers from all around the globe have flocked to the city, to take in fashion shows and soak up the culture”, said Silver about the fashion week in her introduction to the piece.

Her report on the designers shaping the city’s transformation into a fashion spot was published on The Observer as part of its series covering the show, with the story focusing on seven designers with local roots.
