Batumi Boulevard served as the backdrop for the designer's new line. 

Georgian designer Tako Mekvabidze graced the coastal city of Batumi with a luxurious cruise show on July 29, elegantly presenting the&nbsp;latest collection from her Kendall Jenner-approved eponymous brand&nbsp;to the world. The Georgian port city&rsquo;s ancient history and luscious scenery, along with its status as Mekvabidze&#39;s hometown,&nbsp;deemed it&nbsp;the ideal destination for the line&rsquo;s debut, providing a personal backdrop to the designer&rsquo;s creations. With a theme surrounding her childhood memories and &#39;90s Batumi nostalgia, the new range sartorially interprets the city&rsquo;s classic white pillars, Eurasian seashells, and a vision of the female silhouette graciously exploring an azure-toned seaside.&nbsp;

Mekvabidze&rsquo;s cruise show featured a variety of summer dresses, pants, skirts, and shirts that embody the oceanside inspiration for the collection and accentuate the female form in a variety of styles and colors. Light blues and pinks parallel bright whites and soft yellows in a mix of glossy and flowy fabrics to establish the entire line&#39;s bright aura. As each model made their way down the 19th century Boulevard of Batumi, white pillars and warm lights set the scene as a reminder of the significance behind each piece.

Through the blossoming springs, Black Sea-breezed summers, colorful falls, and blanketing winters, Batumi provides year-round inspiration for the designer. The tranquility of nature and the architectural beauty of her hometown provide a foundation for her label and continue to influence her design process. The Mekvabidze woman is a carefree romantic who harmoniously merges with the sea and nature, a persona that stems from the designer&rsquo;s roots in Batumi. Tako Mekvabidze&rsquo;s cruise show on the Batumi Boulevard displayed this commitment to her cultural identity and exhibited her exquisite summer collection beautifully.&nbsp;
