Today, our heroine Inna Margvelashvili - a photographer in the company of the documentary film Sakdoc Film - told about vintage finds from around the world, shops in Tbilisi and family relics.
Topshop skirt, vintage top, vintage shoes
Three or four years ago, when I was studying in Vienna, my friend Anka Tsitsishvili came to my birthday party. There was one vintage shop near the house. Anka walked there for a long time, and I, as I came in, saw this top and did not leave it. I really wanted to buy, but there was no money. Anka immediately noticed this and quietly bought it. Top was a birthday present. Shoes bought at the flea market in Vienna.
JNBY dress, vintage shoes, vintage necklace
I was looking for a wedding dress. After the painting, we went with a close friend to the country for a picnic. Therefore, the dress wanted to pick up uncomplicated. When I saw it, I realized that it was the same thing. The dress was presented to me by my godson, Ilya Rodonaya, the son of Anka and Heraclius. The dress is airy and transparent, so she put on a skirt at the event. Necklace - a gift of my husband for the New Year.
Top Tatuli Vateishvili, leggings O, Moda, Moda, vintage decoration, Khoshtrik shoes
I, unfortunately, one of the few in Tbilisi who often buys clothes of Georgian designers. Those who plan to go to Tbilisi, I recommend to go to O, Moda, Moda. This is a cafe-shop with a very beautiful garden, where you can find vintage and things of Georgian designers. Be sure to try there Lagidze lemonade.
Showing me a photo of these Georgian designer shoes, Anka knew that I would not stand. And I was not mistaken - they are so beautiful that I bought them on the same day, when I saw, without measuring.
Acne shirt, American Apparel leggings, Clarks boots, George Keburia sweatshirt, George Bezani bracelet
I bought this shirt for my first salary, so it is special for me. George Bezani bracelet is one of my favorite things. I bought it at INDEXflat six months ago and since then have not rented. "Clark" - my favorite shoes for travel. They are combined with any clothes and super convenient, suitable for long walks. I am confused by the large and heavy clothes, so I do not wear warm clothes even in cold weather. This soft George Keburia sweater is probably the only warm thing I love and wear with pleasure.
Vintage jacket 4090, leggings O, Moda, Moda, T-shirt Zara for Men, vintage decoration, JNBY sneakers
I bought this jacket by chance. It got colder in Tbilisi, and I was in a T-shirt, went into a vintage shop 4090, saw a jacket and fell in love. I rarely buy clothes, very calm about things. 4090 is the only store I can't leave empty-handed.
Lika Chitaia top, Zara pants, Converse sneakers
I often choose a few favorite things and wear them to the last. Therefore, when something is very like, sorry to part with it. When I bought this top, I realized that he would become a favorite, so I bought in two colors at once: black and terracotta.
JNBY dress, vintage decoration, vintage golf shoes
Almost all the pregnancy I wore things husband or father. At some point, when all the things were already bored, I saw this JNBY dress and realized that it was time to move from huge t-shirts to such silhouettes.
These shoes bought at the flea market. It was very hot, but for some reason I was wearing heavy boots. In this weather, I wanted something light, and not to march. On the way to the academy, I walked through the open Naschmarkt market near the center of Vienna, I saw these golf shoes. I liked them wildly, and I immediately put them on, I came to the academy with spikes on my shoes. I remember how it amused me, but, to be honest, it was extremely inconvenient to walk with these thorns, so I took them off.
American Apparel shirt, vintage vest, vintage jeans, American Apparel shoes
I found this vest in a vintage store in Istanbul. His owner made a strong impression on me, I wanted to remove his portrait. I bought the vest to meet him. We talked, drank tea, and when I offered to photograph him, he refused, but I was pleased with the vest.
Formal clothing has always been a tragedy for me. I do not like suits and business dresses. Here I was always rescued by American Apparel. Their clothes are comfortable and cozy, at the same time they come across as strict as this shirt and boots.
American Apparel Leggings, Vintage Vest, Topshop T-shirt, Khoshtrik Shoes
This vest was worn by my grandmother for quite a while. Especially often - during the evenings when she read poetry. Now I wear it, and the vest gives me confidence. I love to walk in it.
Dress Haider Ackermann, equestrian hat, nameless shoes, vintage bracelet
Park is one of the best shops in Vienna. While I was studying there, I often went there like a museum and very rarely bought anything. However, I could not get past this dress. It is one of the coziest I ever wore.
I do not like winter hats since childhood and never wore them. This hat for equestrian sport, which I found at a flea market, turned out to be the best solution for wintering in cold Vienna. She is warm and beautiful.
C & A Cloak, Vintage Dress 4090, Zara Shoes, Nim Design Bag, George Bezani Bracelet
All my life I went with huge bags, sometimes with two, filled with things that were almost never needed. I went like a gypsy with clothes that I took for “just in case,” shoes, a camera, books and many unnecessary things. I bought a glove-bag in INDEXflat to stop carrying all unnecessary things. You have no idea how roomy this little bag turned out to be!
Vintage Jewelry
This massive Dagestan bracelet goes into the family from generation to generation. The necklace is also Dagestan. It and all the others are the gifts of my husband George, found in the flea markets of Tbilisi.
George Bezani Bracelet, Casio Watch
I gave myself this golden Casio watch for my birthday. I wear them almost every day.
Vintage glasses
These are my Givenchy reading glasses with extra sun glass.
Nim Design glove box
Thanks to the removable straps, it can be worn in several ways, and I often wear straps separately as a belt.
