From April 7 to 10, Riga will host RIGA FASHION WEEK - the most important fashion industry event in the Baltics, which brings together leading Latvian and foreign designers on one stage. For more than 20 years, this project has been an important platform for designers, promoting recognition in international markets.
This spring, famous Latvian designers will present their collections on the main stage of the capital: Natalija Jansone, KATYA KATYA, Verens, Una Berzina, Selina Keer, BAÉ and Amoralle. Their work represents a synthesis of past and future, highlighting a new perspective on tradition, craft techniques and iconic silhouettes. Designers are inspired by history, personal memories and natural motifs, bringing them to life in current forms, textures and color solutions. Great importance is attached to sustainability - durable materials, recycled fabrics and handwork are used. Designer events outside the show will be announced later.
"Riga Fashion Week is an important platform for the development of the Latvian, Baltic and Northern European fashion industry. It attracts international attention, helps designers expand their audience and promotes brand recognition. This is a place where industry professionals meet, new ideas are born and promising collaborations are formed," said Katja Šehurina, designer of the brands KATYA KATYA and BAÉ.
"For a designer, it is important not only to create collections, but also to feel a connection with those who wear them. RFW provides such an opportunity by becoming a place for live interaction. In Latvia, this event is held at the highest level, and I am proud that it is happening right here. Fashion week serves as a bridge between designers and their audience, allowing them to see how the audience perceives clothes and feel feedback on their ideas," Natalija Jansone emphasized.
The platform of RIGA FASHION WEEK not only presents current collections, but also determines the direction of development, opening a space for professional discussion and reflecting the main modern fashion trends.
"Fashion and beauty are closely connected - like a hand and a glove. Time changes trends, technologies and our perspective, but the main values remain the same. Riga Fashion Week allows you not only to follow the changes, but also to see what actually remains outside the framework of time. We, Guinot, share this approach: in the era of injection beauty trends, we prove that the natural beauty of well-groomed and healthy skin is a value that never goes out of fashion," - emphasized Guinot, general sponsor of RIGA FASHION WEEK.
