With a very glamorous older sister and an insatiable pursuit of even more beauty than the one that surrounded him, every thread conspired for years to lead Georgian-American Gio Levan to this moment: presenting his first collection in New York.
From birth, Gio Levan lived in a constant state of duality, moving between the United States and Georgia, two places as different as they are distant. This in-between existence pushed him, from a very young age, to imagine, to think, and to create. What began with painting and the certainty of becoming an artist has today evolved into fashion.
Early on, like anyone who knows they do not want a “conventional” life, Gio began to question himself and explore his own creative sources. And with that exploration often comes a loss of self-knowledge, of self-esteem, and the lingering doubt of whether this path is truly yours, or whether you will ever be even accepted within it.
Everything eventually fell into place. Gio formalized his skills at Parsons in New York, and today he designs and creates pieces that narrate his life, each stage, each step that has shaped him into the person and artist he is today. Influenced by childhood readings such as Oscar Wilde, by history (a field both of his parents are connected to in one way or another), and by a lack of rootedness in any single place on earth, all of these elements are woven into the fabric of his work.
High-quality, sustainable materials of natural origin; silhouettes that instinctively feel flattering; vests often mistaken for corsets; and vertical lines that make clients feel powerful, purposeful, and imbued with the stance of a warrior. Pieces that highlight each body with intelligence, sensitivity, and craftsmanship.
Gio continues to work on growing what is now an emerging fashion house, and he shares with great enthusiasm that his ultimate goal is to keep creating, to keep working so he can continue telling stories, transmitting his purpose, his journey, and his vision to the world. And he will. Without a doubt.
