The creations of local designer Datuna Sulikashvili were the first to be presented – models walked down the runway at Expo Georgia on Friday evening on the opening night wearing his red, white and black collection.

As promised, Sulikashvili’s collection was "very feminine” with long dresses and mixed attire made of flowing materials with light and heavily patterned materials contrasting each other.
