In Tbilisi, Georgia—just 65 miles away from Russia’s border—is a small, yet bustling fashion week.

Taking center stage as an emerging designer in Tbilisi Fashion Week is Ani Datukishvili; the Georgian designer began her brand in 2016 after graduating from Central Saint Martins and Istituto Marangoni.

Her spring/summer collection kept to timeless neutrals, the clean whites, grays, and blacks a blank canvas for her future.

Utilizing metallic, and a bit of sparkle, each piece came to life. The unique folds in the collection emanated a carefree, laid-back vibe, juxtaposing the sheer fabrics and corsets that give this collection its classic femininity.

Datukishvili challenged herself with fun silhouettes and adding asymmetrical details.

With a collection that ranges from casual to cocktail, Ani Datukishvili is ready to put Tbilisi Fashion Week on the map. Stay tuned.
