TAMARA BREGADZE

,,Un Giardino delle Libellule’’ represents my first-ever collection, featuring nine distinct looks that occupied my creative efforts for over seven months - a challenge, to be honest. The accompanying LookBook encapsulates the essence of these seven months, showcasing the culmination of my labor in nine carefully crafted ensembles.

Throughout this collection, I accomplished the following: Crafted suits, complete with their bathing trousers. Sewed a black tulle dress, a careful two-week effort driven by 50 metres of tulle fabric. The final outcome supposed my expectations, showcasing impeccable craftsmanship. Designed a pink dress adorned with handmade flowers. These flowers were born from white delicate blooms, transformed with a fabric dye, and delicately sewn onto the dress.navigated the intricate art of crafting corsets for the both dresses, drawing inspiration from the masterful Oscar de la Renta. The white bridal ensemble featuring dragonflies intricately embroidered with a tambour technique and adorned with the beads, was a testament to this influence.

Denim, my favoured medium, found its place into distinct jeans. Although both commenced as dark blue, my artistic touch came into the play as I bleached the fabric in two different ways, resulting in subtly different pairs. This solo venture provided an invaluable learning experience, underscoring the practicality of teaching hand-crafting through hands-on approaches rather than theoretical methods.

The collection’s title ,,Un Giardino Delle Libellule’’, translates from Italian Language to - ,,The Garden of the Dragonflies’’ in English. This collection serves a vivid reminder of the spring - a season of a renewal, fresh air, blooming flowers and riot of the colors. Dragonflies grace the corset and the bridal dress, adding a touch of whimsy. Spring, with its invigorating energy, power, and lightness of mind, was a backdrop to the creation of this collection. I fondly recall the distinct feelings, the vibes, the environment, and , most notably, the sun - present witness to the creative process. My first professional collection has indelibly marked itself in my heart and minds, forever etching this significant journey in my artistic pursuit.
