About the Brand
Radically luxurious British based conceptual fashion brand Yashka Moore redresses the mind by offering up garments to clothe us in our journeys through the inner and outer worlds.
Using British hand woven wools, the lightest of cottons and innovative weaving techniques developed in the London based studio, Yashka Moore caters to women who wish to dress thoughtfully.
Yashka says ‘after working with Guram (Gvasalia) on YASHKATHOR hats, I realised we had a natural affinity with Georgia.’ It was a natural progression to launch Collection 001, the designer’s first ready to wear collection, in Tbilisi.
Yashka Moore holds that clothing is psychoactive. Through wearing garments, we can anchor ourselves into new states of being or dismantle current states of affairs. Ancient priestesses wove the world into being on their looms. The brand’s ‘Collection 001’ makes use of unstable half-garments which allow their wearers to weave their own clothing onto their bodies.
