Georgian designer George Keburia breathed new life into porcelain dolls—warped by nostalgia, toughened by rebellion for his London Fashion Week debut. “The inspiration was mainly broken dolls, because I didn’t have enough time to play with them in my childhood,” he reflected post-show. That longing took shape in a collection that fused delicate femininity with structured, almost militaristic undertones.

Tailored drummer jackets—rendered in wool, bouclé, and houndstooth—were offset by crinkled vinyl trims or softened with cascades of tulle. Elongated sleeves hinted at childhood dress-up, while cinched bodices flared into bubble skirts filled with trapped feathers beneath sheer lace. Trousers toyed with proportions, boasting oversized buttons or cropped capri cuts lined with lace and shearling, adding an unexpected playfulness.

Closing the show, ethereal silk evening dresses came with gauzy gloves sewn directly onto them, cementing the surreal, doll-like aesthetic. With this debut, Keburia’s vision of fragile figures with an edge marched confidently onto the London stage, proving that even broken dolls can command power.
