Georgian Infusion

Georgian Traces in the History of Fashion and Art
A Lecture by Natela Fotskhveria (Nateli Tbilisi)

What do Svan silver jewelry, legendary chaphras, Christian Lacroix, and folkloric costumes in Salvador Dalí’s paintings have in common?
From Chanel’s haute couture archives to Demna’s radical minimalism, from Cartier’s legendary vaults to John Galliano’s theatrical realm — Georgia has left a refined yet indelible mark on global fashion and art history.

Natela Fotskhveria, founder of the acclaimed cultural platform Nateli Tbilisi, also launched Georgian Infusion, an innovative project dedicated to researching Georgia’s role on the global fashion map.

With 15 years of experience writing for Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Andy Warhol’s Interview, InStyle, Robb Report, and more, Natela will take you on a journey through the limitless world of fashion.

In this exclusive lecture, she’ll share stories of Georgian aristocrats who stood at the roots of European beauty brands, the influence of Colchian art in Cartier’s iconic jewelry, and preview details from an upcoming exhibition.

This lecture is devoted to little-known facts from global fashion history — with Georgia at the very center of influence and inspiration.
