Georgian identical twins Tamara and Natasha Surguladze make up the design duo of Tata Naka. The name Tata-Naka originated from their childhood nicknames and thus was an organic choice when deciding on a signature name for the brand. The inspiration for their AW14 Collection came from the home and world of interior design. An evident key to this collection is the influence of paintings by Matisse.
Held at The Royal Academy the setting was certainly perfect for the tone and depth of the collection.
Their signature style is; “As the two of us work together, our designs often reflect the contrast of two opposites and reveal the dual nature of the brand. Our collections explore the unexpected; we play with the illusory but always maintain a sense of humour. One of our signatures is our in-house prints that are based on our paintings and photography. We always aim to create timeless pieces for our customers: pieces with which they will fall in love.”
And with their AW14 collection it's clear they've succeeded with highly decorative pieces resonating from their signature style and the concept of home. The inspiration behind their AW14 Collection drew reference to home, furnishings and the the paintings of Matisse. The bold prints derived from classic hand-painted wall papers, ceramic tiles, and porcelain china do take you back in time to a place where Persian rugs and Aubusson carpets stood firmly in the home.
The fabrics were just as sophisticated and stunning; silk crepe de chine, luxurious wool crepe and georgette. Tata Naka also introduced plain and textured bonded silk neoprene to create a modern silhouette.
The shoes were to die for and designed by the duo themselves with key season features; tassels and metallic!
IDEAL CLIENT: “She is adventurous and romantic, with a great sense of humour. She doesn’t feel the need to follow the trends but is capable of creating her own unique style.”

The two sisters arrived in London in 1996 to study design at Central St Martin‟s. On graduating in the year 2000 Barneys NYC dedicated a wall to their awe-inspiring collection.
