The distinctive culture and crafts of Georgia and Armenia, the films of Parajanov, feathered burkas, rooster-shaped bags.
The collection draws on the distinctive culture, art, traditional crafts, costume and national ornament of Georgia and Armenia, the films of Sergei Parajanov, the Caucasian chapter of Lermontov's life, mountain landscapes and the Georgian feast.
Working in the visual language of Haute Couture, the House reimagined the ornamental stone carving of ancient temples and the calligraphic patterning of old manuscripts in embroideries of cord, bead and silk. A martial note appeared in looks trimmed with cartridge-pocket gazyrs, shearling and karakul, while pomegranates, wine and animal figures stood for Caucasian generosity and hospitality. Among the collection's many details, feathered burkas and rooster-shaped bags stood out.
