MATERIEL Information

Tbilisi’s oldest textile manufacturer Fashion House Materia dates back to 1949 and is responsible for preserving the technology and aesthetic of the era. Inheriting the corporation’s expertise Materiel was founded in 2014 by Maia Gogiberidze. The label was built with the intention to collaborate with young, local creatives. Each one of them is responsible for creating a new chapter in the brand’s history. Their hard work and dedication have become predominant to Materiel’s international success. Today Tiko Paksashvili is the creative force behind Materiel - joining the successful women-led team - for the first time in the brand’s history. Her unique approach juxtaposes structural tailoring with feminine silhouettes. Her collections represent an ongoing conversation of geometric and architectural forms with the character of a determined and ambitious woman. Tiko brings back classic Materiel silhouettes and examines them through new lens with a carefully selected color palette and unconventional details.
