Mathilda Gvarliani has become the first Georgian model to appear on the cover of the Vogue fashion magazine, after the Dutch edition of the international publication revealed its December edition.
The 19-year-old model was photographed by celebrated German fashion photographer Ellen von Unwerth at the Belvedere Palace in Vienna, a Baroque museum housing one of the most significant collections of Gustav Klimt paintings, Vogue Netherlands said.

One of the works of the Austrian painter was picked to be used as the backdrop of the photoshoot for Gvarliani, who made her debut in haute couture at the Dolce & Gabbana Spring-Summer collection show in 2020.
