Irakli Rusadze as the creative director for Situationist, despite being a young fashion designer.  It is also inspiring to what it means in committing hard work, dedication and attention to detail with his designs.  This has allowed Rusadze to achieve an outcome that is unique and distinct in its originality.  Which is very rare these days.  For moments in time, to create and build a brand such as Situationist shows an enduring resilience in maintaining a fashion brand in a world inundated with fashion and design.

The tailoring is superb, cuts and fits all achieved with a preciseness and by hand too.  You can tell, it is a process that is uniquely human engineered, although I am not against laser and machine precision cuts and automated based machinery which pieces clothing together.  As most of the conglomerate fashion brands use a more technologically automated approach in clothing design.    Crafting looks and honing those skills, can only be achieved from the ground level.   Studying form, establishing a style and maintaining direction.  All traits which Rusadze has implemented with Situationist.

Keeping in line Rusadze’s recognizable Situationist blazers, leather draped jackets and skirts.  The Eastern European directness in style can be seen.  Intermixed with aesthetics that at times soften the collection.  Cotton, wool and leather.  Fitted and portrayed exceptionally well within an art gallery setting.
