Dear Shaded Viewers,
As for the most recent edition of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tbilisi, which ended on May 8th, 2023, it featured collections from over 30 designers and attracted fashion industry professionals from around the world including i-D, Dazed, Vogue Business among others. The event showcased a diverse range of styles and aesthetics, from avant-garde to more commercial designs, and included both womenswear and menswear collections.
