Irakli Nasidze

Irakli Nasidze (Georgian: ირაკლი ნასიძე; born 1973, Tbilisi) is a Georgian artist. All around artist, he moved from pure graphic art towards fashion and haute couture, genuine field of expression for him.

Childhood and early years

Raised in an aristocratic family in Georgia, Irakli was introduced to the world of art by his grandmother. The latter was crucial in Irakli's life, as she gave him the desire to pursue his artistic dreams. In 1996, Irakli graduated of the Academy of Fine Art in Tbilissi, and went to Paris where he slowly settled in the fashion landscape of Paris. Indeed, he saw in Paris a promised land for his artistic ambitions.

Beginning of his career

In Paris, his artistic sense led him to work for Christian Lacroix and Jean-Louis Scherrer.[1] He collaborated with several designers, up until 2002, when he created an haute couture collection under his own name. He has continued to collaborate throughout the years, particularly with Chopard in 2006 for their accessories.

Haute couture

In 2002, Irakli, sponsored and supported by Francois Lesage,[2] launched his first haute couture collection. He exhibited at the Musée Galliera[3] in Paris for his first collection. Thus, until 2010, Irakli Nasidze has presented no less than 10 haute couture collections making him the first creator of Georgian origin ever to present in France and abroad.

gollark: > Modern SIM cards allow applications to load when the SIM is in use by the subscriber. These applications communicate with the handset or a server using SIM Application Toolkit, which was initially specified by 3GPP in TS 11.14. (There is an identical ETSI specification with different numbering.) ETSI and 3GPP maintain the SIM specifications. The main specifications are: ETSI TS 102 223 (the toolkit for smartcards), ETSI TS 102 241 (API), ETSI TS 102 588 (application invocation), and ETSI TS 131 111 (toolkit for more SIM-likes). SIM toolkit applications were initially written in native code using proprietary APIs. To provide interoperability of the applications, ETSI choose Java Card.[11] A multi-company collaboration called GlobalPlatform defines some extensions on the cards, with additional APIs and features like more cryptographic security and RFID contactless use added.[12]
gollark: Yes.
gollark: But instead they're actually quite powerful things which run applications written in some weird Java dialect?!
gollark: Which could all be done in Software.
