Situationist Fall 2018 – Tbilisi
The Georgian designer Iraki Rusadze, with his brand Situationist, maintains the distinct and riveting styles, which as a young designer are now resonating a portrayal that holds a raw originality. And I use the term raw in an aesthetically respectful term. A natural and direct beauty is what Rusadze is able to define through Situationist matched with impeccable cuts and styling.
Although the styles are not for everyone. If the 1980s influences (and it is safe to say that Situationist has trail-blazed the trend over the last few years) which have graced the runways for the 2018 and 2019 forward seasons with blazers, coats and associated 80s 'glamor'. Maybe a short lived trend. With Rusadze as a newer designer, I can see the influences which have assisted in crafting Situationist's take on 1980s power suit styles. The correlations of inspiration, that seem to be mainly sourced, in my opinion, from fashion icons such as Thierry Mugler and Emanuel Ungaro. Which makes sense as an overall influence, particularly the experimental and stylized female collections that exuded the sex appeal of 80s power styles, presented over thirty five years ago.
But, Rusadze maintains his specific distinction, within his Eastern European roots and Italian/French influences, heavily laden wool and leather styles, muted colour tones crafted and fitted with, as mentioned a rawer more gritty feel (apparently the show was meant to take place inside the Tbilisi, Georgian female prison). Despite the intensity of the collection and the venue choices, Situationist's Fall 2018 also reveals a subtle and delicate array.
