Tbilisi Fashion Week, or TFW (Georgian: თბილისის მოდის კვირეული|tr) is a Georgian fashion week in its capital city of Tbilisi. TFW hosts industry professionals twice a year, in Spring and Fall.[1] [2] TFW was established in 2009 during Tbilisoba festival.[3]
TFW is a fashion hub in the Caucasus which maintains the fashion industry development and introduces new faces and exports Georgian fashion production.[4] [5] [6] [7]
Georgia's fashion industry, TFW and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tbilisi have garnered international attention following the success of home-grown talent designers like David Koma, and more importantly Demna Gvasalia of luxury brand Balenciaga and his own brand Vetements.[8] Tbilisi is now dubbed as one of the "fashion capitals of Eastern Europe".[9] [10]
TFW keeps experimenting with hosting fashion venues on different locations all over the city, from museums or art galleries, nightclubs like Bassiani to Old Tbilisi streets.[11]
