Tailored unisex on trend for Georgia Fashion lookahead

(4 Nov 2019) TAILORED UNISEX ON TREND FOR GEORGIA FASHION LOOKAHEAD

Female fashions on the Georgian catwalk have been distinctly business-like at this year's showing of spring/summer collections in the capital, Tbilisi.

Designer Irakli Rusadze of Situationist picked the dark and moody setting of an abandoned power plant to show off his latest line.

Oversized jackets and pants, together with flowy silk dresses dominated his collection.

Rusadze, now aged 28, established his label when he was only 17 and since then has been a regular at Tbilisi fashion week.

He has a definite profile for the people who wear his clothes.

"We are trying to make a large collection and I think that people of different styles can wear it and find something interesting in our collection. I make a collection for delicate and at the same time self-confident people," says Rusadze.

Giorgi Keburia is another young Georgian designer - he's taking his inspiration from a television series.

"My inspiration was movie characters, we made it look like a TV series. Our women are self-confident, but with many problems, but still very strong. We wanted to have many characters and that's why we have used wigs, bags, gloves and etc.," says Keburia.

Tamuna Ingorokva, who is considered one of Georgia's top designers, says her collection was inspired by the cut and architecture of menswear. The majority of her clothes are unisex with Ingorokva focusing on the concept of sustainable fashion.

"It's a lot of men's clothes, the men's cut that inspired us and also architecture and it's actually unisex clothes. Everybody can wear it except the dresses," says Ingorokva.

The theme of Avtandl's collection is Time and Powe.

Avtandil's collection is focused on a contemporary woman who looks ahead. That's why his silhouettes are very masculine, but he argues: "The silhouette is very masculine, but where the femininity is not lost."

Tblisi Fashion Week runs October 30 to November 4 2019.
