My brand has actually only existed for six or seven seasons (three years). First, I opened a multi-brand store to help designers realize themselves in the fashion industry. I know that this has been a very important platform for them, especially because of the developing fashion industry in our country. After that, I realized that I wanted to start my own brand to express my feelings and myself, and each season I’m finding more of my own style.

When I went, it was purely as an instrument to learn, but immediately, I deeply understood what Paris meant to fashion. Naturally, the culture and the style influenced me a lot – and it can be seen in my collections.

This question is quite difficult for me because I’ve never really considered it. I think fashion has no country. Georgia has really strong and competitive designers because we have a fast emerging industry, but we are more cooperative possibly due to our culture.

After almost a century of the closed Soviet system, we gained our freedom and independence, but we had a difficult transformation in the early years. It’s only in recent decades that we have started to get what we really deserve and we are for sure seeing an explosion of creativity.

There are few designers I really like: Nicolas Gregorian, George Keburia and Materiel. 

Studio 54 reflects another explosion of freedom and expression, and all of my favourite iconic celebrities were involved: Bianca and Mick Jagger, Lauren Hutton, Andy Warhol, etc. It’s something that I found very exciting and inspiring, which is why I chose it, and signature pieces can be found in the collection.

Actually, I have several favourites! But if I had to choose it would be the violet look with two collars. I found it interesting and sexy to mix cotton and organza. I love the colour and the mixing of these two fabrics and also the flat patterns/cuts of the shirt and skirt.

Yes. It’s a bit risky but it’s really one of the challenging parts of creating a collection.

It’s not the first time someone has mentioned that my clothes are daring, but it doesn’t scare me! When I create my collections, I love mixing colours, fabrics and styles fearlessly. But I’m not trying to push the wearability; everything I do and create is for customers and should be wearable for people as well.

A daring woman who knows her own identity. Her personality is serious, strong and at the same time very sexy.

Sure, it is important. Yoster is a very creative brand, I'm really honoured to collaborate with them and I hope that it will be long term. We both think that my collection and her jewellery is a perfect match, such as the exclusive oversized jewellery pieces for Janashia Fall/Winter 2018 collection.

Yes. I'm really obsessed with ‘60s retro-futurism, but I try to add my own personal touch in every collection. I’m always trying to find new inspirations from early eras in movies, icons, nature, architecture, etc. I really like to mix lots of different eras in one collection as it makes my collections pretty eclectic.

What a question? It would be nice, maybe one day!
