Shaping the future of fashion:
Tbilisi Fashion Week discovers new wave of Georgian designers

A new wave of Georgian designers are making their mark and shaping the future of fashion in Tbilisi, Georgia's capital. 

The 14th season of Tbilisi Fashion Week took place over the past week and as well as promoting established designers, was full of shows promoting up-and-coming Georgian designers.

During the five-day celebration of Georgian fashion, new designers showcased their designs in about 20 fashion shows, all full of new trends and colours. 

This season Tbilisi Fashion Week discovered new designers – a new wave of Georgian designers – who will conquer the Georgian fashion industry. I am glad to see very strong collections of newcomer designers,” said Tako Chkheidze, founder of Tbilisi Fashion Week.

Over the past five days invited guests, Tbilisians and tourists had the opportunity to attend Tbilisi Fashion Week show and be part of the fashion celebration. 

After the final catwalk guests moved to the M2 Skyline Residence building – the final location of this season’s Tbilisi Fashion Week -  to enjoy the closing ceremony of the fashion days. 

In the walls of the building, which is still under construction, models showed the debut collection of M.A.Y.A., who offered a casual style for next season. 

Tbilisi Fashion Week closed with a high-profile show at one of the highest places of the city, near Mtatsminda Park, where the old and the contemporary spirits of the city merged.
