Situationist has just dropped the lookbook for their Spring/Summer 2024 “Making of Husbands” collection. This release prompts some deep thoughts about what we imagine in a lifelong partner. What do they represent? How do they move and express themselves? What values do they embody?

The name “Making of Husbands” draws inspiration from an exhibition featuring Christina Ramberg’s art and the iconic film “Husbands” by John Cassavetes. Irakli Rusadze, the creative director of Situationist, recalls how this film sparked his early exploration of traditional gender norms. His goal was to blend these influences into a collection rooted in Georgian culture.

Situationist embraces gender-fluid designs at its core, striving for comfort that breaks free from societal constraints. Traditional tailoring techniques grace the classic suits and coats, while hand-knitted pieces boast unique craftsmanship. The collection incorporates personalized touches by their seamstresses. The tulip, symbolizing Georgian resistance and memories of the Tbilisi Massacre, takes center stage in SS24. The collection also introduces jewelry inspired by the “Chikanka” female figures found in Soviet Georgian homes.

Natural materials like silk, wool, cotton, and viscose dominate the fabric choices, with bold colors like pink, purple, and red complemented by casual shades of black, beige, and white. Italian dead-stock fabrics remain a primary focus.

Every piece is exclusive, and customization is key. Some items are designed for all genders, while others can be tailored to individual preferences.
