Tbilisi Fashion Week, or TFW (Georgian: თბილისის მოდის კვირეული, romanized: tbilisis modis k'vireuli) 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]

Locations
