Earlier in the week, the opening day of the fashion week saw a press breakfast occasion marking Georgia’s selection as the official guest country in the upcoming Pitti Uomo platform in Italy.
One of the major international platforms for launching men’s clothing and accessory collections, Pitti Uomo events are held twice a year in Florence.
The next date in June will host designers from Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tbilisi and Georgian artists flock to exhibition pavilions in the Italian city to introduce visitors to their work.
Tbilisi is one of cities in 50 countries where Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is held annually. The event aims to "promote designers and talented people and also promote Georgia through art and fashion”.
Georgia is once again in the fashion spotlight thanks to American singer, songwriter, and actress Lady Gaga, who has chosen a Georgian label for the second time already.
