👩🏼🏫🇬🇪🧑🏫 The last bell rang in Georgian schools today.
About 25,000 people graduated this year. All of them today traditionally wear white shirts, on which classmates leave commemorative innoscriptions. The tradition is not exclusively Georgian, but it was here that for some reason it took root and is still massively observed.
🤪 The creator of the popular brand, a native of Georgia, Demna Gvasalia, has been actively and extremely successfully monetizing the traditions and cultural codes of his homeland for a long time. Replicas of school prom shirts were included in the Vetements spring/summer 2019 collection. And they disappeared from stores very quickly.

🏔🎿💰 A major financial scandal is brewing in Georgia.
The Italian company "Demaclenko" accuses the government and the manager of the ski resorts "MTA" in a possible corruption conspiracy in preparation for the world championship in freestyle and snowboarding.
There were two competitors for the 137 million lari (about $47 million) tender announced in April, but the Ministry of Economy chose Technoalpin, which offered a higher price. The MTA itself stated that Demaclenko did not gain the necessary experience points required by the tender. At the moment, the Italians have offered a price of $ 3 million lower than their competitors and are ready to provide additional documents, leaving no opportunity to go to court.
ℹ️ In March 2023, the World Freestyle and Snowboard Championships will be held in Bakuriani and Gudauri. Local entrepreneurs who are engaged in ski resorts are already predicting the next winter season to be "fat", since in addition to competitions, foreign athletes will come to train, and tourists will want to visit the places where the champions skied.
