We can all agree that creating your own style is not easy – especially when so many people look at you for inspiration. For Salome Gviniashvili, style is not just about choosing clothes; it’s a reflection of her character, mood, and lifestyle. Comfort plays the main role in her everyday looks, yet she always manages to keep her signature elegance.
In an interview with N13, Salome talked about her personal style, favorite designers and fashion houses, seasonal trends, and the vision that defines her elegant and memorable identity.
1. What defines your everyday style – comfort, elegance, or experimentation?
Because of my busy schedule, comfort definitely defines my style. I have a lot to do every day, so feeling comfortable is very important to me. Honestly, I don’t spend much time in the morning thinking about what to wear – I just choose something simple and easy, usually pants and sneakers.
2. What mood does the autumn-winter season bring you, and how does it reflect in your style?
I believe every season has its own charm, and I love them all in different ways. But I especially look forward to autumn and winter – they always put me in a good mood. Autumn for me means elegant yet comfortable style – I love jacket and trench coat season. As for winter, it’s directly connected to skiing for me, which I absolutely love, so I’d say I’m just as excited about winter as I am about autumn.
3. What color palette do you prefer for autumn-winter? Is there a color you never wear
Neutral tones fit best with this season – beige, chocolate, and white. Even though I never used to like brown, this year I’m wearing it quite a lot – probably because I see it everywhere. Still, I always stay loyal to black – it’s my favorite color. I don’t think there’s any color I would never wear, but my wardrobe doesn’t really include many bright pieces.
4. Is there an accessory that you consider a symbol of your style and wear every season?
For me, it’s sunglasses. I wear them in every season. Besides being functional, they complete any look. I usually choose them depending on what I’m wearing, but sometimes I’ll stick with one specific model for a while – if you look at my recent photos, you’ll see I’ve been wearing my Prada sunglasses very often lately.
5. Where do you find daily inspiration for your style? Is there someone who inspires you?
I can’t say there’s one specific person I take inspiration from, but I do follow people on Instagram whose style I like. Sometimes I come across a blogger whose look inspires me to dress similarly. Inspiration can come from anyone, really. I don’t spend much time planning what to wear – it usually depends on my mood.
6. Which designer or fashion house best represents your style, and why?
I’d say Anthony Vaccarello and Saint Laurent. Oversized silhouettes, strong shoulders, narrow skirts and pants – they all perfectly match my style. I love every Saint Laurent collection; this brand truly reflects my personality.
7. Has any recent collection inspired you – in terms of silhouette, color, or overall mood?
Of course. Like every season, I really liked Saint Laurent’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection. But I especially want to mention Matthieu Blazy’s debut collection for Chanel. Some people said it didn’t feel very “Chanel,” but I personally found it impressive.
8. We saw many debut collections this season. Which designer stood out most for you during the Fall 2025 Fashion Weeks?
As I mentioned, Matthieu Blazy’s debut for Chanel really stood out. I also loved Pierpaolo Piccioli’s work for Balenciaga – I think he perfectly captured the brand’s identity. And finally, Demna’s Gucci. Even though there weren’t big changes or new directions, I think the collection was special in its presentation. Demna always manages to say something memorable in the fashion world.
9. What is the secret to great style – are there rules, or is it more about intuition?
I don’t think there are rules. You either have a sense of style, or you don’t. If you have it, styling comes naturally. It’s also important to know what suits you. Personally, I prefer classic pieces – I follow trends, of course, but I believe true elegance lies in timeless classics.
10. Finally, what advice would you give to women who are just starting to build their own style identity?
Listen to your intuition and don’t compare yourself to others. Personal style comes from inner comfort. It’s important to feel confident and comfortable in what you wear because your inner state always shows through your style. If you feel confident, you’ll shine anywhere.
