V sklopu dogodka UNIQUE Fashion Show Paris 2026, ki je potekal v zgodovinskem ambientu Le Réfectoire des Cordeliers v pariški četrti Saint-Germain-des-Prés, je gruzijski oblikovalec Pridon Niguriani predstavil najnovejšo kolekcijo svoje znamke LEM za jesen/zimo 2026/27.
Dogodek organizira UNIQUE Fashion Foundation, mednarodna platforma, ki povezuje modo, umetnost, trajnost, digitalne inovacije in kulturni dialog. S pomočjo modnih revij, izobraževalnih programov in mednarodnih sodelovanj fundacija ustvarja priložnosti za uveljavljene in vzhajajoče oblikovalce, umetnike ter podjetnike iz Evrope in širše.
Fashion is Art
Nova kolekcija LEM nosi naslov Fashion is Art in že z imenom razkriva svojo osrednjo idejo. »Moda je veliko več kot le oblačilo – je umetnost in močna oblika izražanja,« poudarja oblikovalec Pridon Niguriani.
Kolekcija raziskuje tesno povezanost med umetniškim ustvarjanjem in modnim oblikovanjem. Vsak kos deluje kot samostojno umetniško delo, pri katerem se meje med galerijo in modno pisto skoraj povsem zabrišejo.
Ustvarjalni proces se je začel pri pravem likovnem ustvarjanju. Oblačila vključujejo ročno poslikane elemente, ki jih je izdelal profesionalni umetnik, pri nekaterih kreacijah pa je bilo za dokončanje poslikav potrebnih tudi do sedem dni natančnega dela. Igrivi motivi in izraziti umetniški detajli tako oblačila spreminjajo v nosljive umetnine.
»Ta kolekcija je popolno slavljenje umetnosti,« pravi Niguriani, ki z novo sezono nadaljuje zgodbo svojega prejšnjega ustvarjalnega poglavja.
Ko moda postane performans
Posebno vlogo imajo tudi dodatki. Masivne ogrlice okoli vratu, domišljijsko oblikovani klobuki, gledališke maske in skulpturalni detajli ustvarjajo videze, ki presegajo klasično modno predstavitev ter se približujejo svetu performansa in sodobne umetnosti.
Kljub izrazito umetniškemu pristopu oblikovalec ostaja zvest svoji filozofiji trajnostnega ustvarjanja. Vsi dodatki so nastali po načelu upcyclinga, s katerim Pridon Niguriani dokazuje, da sta inovativnost in okoljska odgovornost lahko neločljivo povezani.
Kolekcija LEM Fashion is Art FW 2026/27 tako ni zgolj predstavitev novih modnih smernic, temveč poklon ustvarjalnosti, ročnemu delu in moči umetniškega izraza, ki presega meje med različnimi disciplinami.
Fashion as Art: LEM FW 2026/27 Unveiled in Paris
As part of UNIQUE Fashion Show Paris 2026, held at the historic Le Réfectoire des Cordeliers in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Georgian designer Pridon Niguriani presented the latest LEM Fall/Winter 2026/27 collection.
Organized by UNIQUE Fashion Foundation, the international platform brings together fashion, art, sustainability, digital innovation, and cultural dialogue. Through runway presentations, educational initiatives, and international collaborations, the Foundation continues to support emerging and established designers, artists, and entrepreneurs across Europe and beyond.
Fashion is Art
Titled Fashion is Art, the new collection reflects Pridon Niguriani’s belief that fashion goes far beyond clothing.
“Fashion is more than just clothing—it is art, a profound form of expression,” says the Georgian designer.
With this collection, Niguriani explores the intimate relationship between art and fashion, transforming each garment into a wearable canvas where creativity takes center stage. Every look blurs the boundaries between artistic vision and contemporary design, creating pieces that feel as much at home in a gallery as on a runway.
The creative process began with literal artistry. Each garment features hand-painted details created by a professional artist, with some pieces requiring up to seven days of meticulous work to complete. Playful motifs and expressive artistic elements transform the collection into a series of wearable masterpieces.
“This collection is a total celebration of art,” Niguriani explains, continuing the creative narrative introduced in his previous work.
Where Fashion Meets Performance
Accessories play an equally important role in the collection’s visual language. Oversized chokers, imaginative hats, theatrical masks, and sculptural embellishments create dramatic silhouettes that blur the line between fashion, performance, and contemporary art.
Remaining faithful to his commitment to sustainability, all accessories were created through upcycling, highlighting the designer’s dedication to responsible craftsmanship and innovative design solutions.
More than a seasonal collection, LEM Fashion is Art FW 2026/27 stands as a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and artistic freedom—demonstrating how fashion can become a powerful medium for storytelling and self-expression.
