The national pride is one of the main features of Georgian people. As the success of the famous Georgian designer Demna Gvasalia (creative head of Balenciaga & founder of Vetmants) grows, the whole nation focuses on the style of these brands - the Street / 90s Style. But fashion trends come and go while importance of the Charity is always relevant.
