Vetements Show "Family and War by Demna Gvasalia

One of his most interesting collections was the Vetements show inspired by Georgian history. The collection was titled as “Family and War”.The designer wanted to tell his story. He wanted to present a film rather than a show. Georgian alphabet and poetry, the flags of the countries (America, Russia, Ukraine), trends and political events related to the past and recent history of Georgia were reflected on the clothes. The collection represents his personality before coming to Europe.
