David Gevorkov was born in Tbilisi, Georgia but made a name for himself in Moscow, creating haute couture collections that have been widely admired in high society and celebrity circles. David is currently based between Tbilisi and Paris where he is the creative director of the fashion house David's Road, creating garments that are inspired by contemporary culture and the freedom of the city, its streets, and its people. Each detail, line, color, shape, and shadow has a particular meaning. In 2016, David opened his own production studio in Tbilisi.
Fashion experts describe David's Road as post-grunge or tramp-chic. As a designer, David is not eager to follow fashion trends or rules. He tends to create his own aesthetic and designs that he is happy to wear himself. In his collections, David connects Eastern layering with Western conciseness, urban comfort wear, and strict luxury of the classic silhouette, apparent aggressiveness, and pacifist beliefs. Perfect hybrid of prêt-à-porter and haute couture.
"The thing that truly interests me is to play with my own imagination. A game in which there are no rules, no prejudice, or boring decency. I’m obsessed with the idea that imagination allows it to describe itself, tell the story, and to tell it’s own fears and desires. All I want is to stay in my own imagination. The place where you’re vulnerable and honest, where the voice of your blood is not drowned by the voice of your mind, where your heart is resigned and without any hindrance, simply honest. Where your thirst controls your actions. I know the difference between appetite and hunger. You can't quench the hunger. I’m not creating to simply surprise or to shock. I’m creating worlds in which my imagination is the main character and also the backdrop to the action. In those worlds, I can mix and match colors, textures, characters, and cultures. And, simply because I like it."
