Tradition reimagined: A birthday dress inspired by georgian dance
A teenage girl celebrates the Antigenoba celebration in Tusheti, Georgia, wearing a custom-made dress inspired by traditional Georgian dance costumes. At 14, she designed it herself, choosing the color, adding chest details, and a belt to reflect her growing love for Georgian culture. The dress is traditional in spirit, but made for a special occasion, not the stage.
