Abstract
Graphic designers learn things that they can easily translate into textile design, like how to illustrate and how to make patterns. Doing textile design can give graphic designers new challenges, as they have to think about the fabric and the clothing during their design process. It can also give them new opportunities to be more creative and abstract, since graphic design is more strict with its rules and standards, and the textile design world gives designers more freedom than a regular client-based assignment (Huval 2018). The relevance of textile design goes beyond fashion and cultural impact, rather it can be (and often is) used as a social and political tool. In this thesis, we are going to discuss Soviet textile design, more specifically what effect it had on Georgian fashion history and how it still influences fashion designers today
