Georgia's fashion industry, TFW and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Tbilisi have garnered international attention following the success of home-grown talent designers like David Koma, and more importantly Demna Gvasalia of luxury brand Balenciaga and his own brand Vetements.[8] Tbilisi is now dubbed as one of the "fashion capitals of Eastern Europe".[9][10]
