RIGA FASHION WEEK opening: the “Cinema & Fashion” show

This project challenges traditional boundaries and invites the viewer to imagine what it means to be a girl in an ever-evolving world. It merges high-tech aesthetics with raw human emotion, inviting reflection on what it means to exist and evolve in an increasingly digital world. Through experimental lighting, sculptural styling, and layered compositions, the series reflects on the blurred line between the machine and self, softness and edge, permanence and impermanence. 

With her sun-kissed ease and magnetic presence, Kari Riley is part of a new generation redefining what it means to be a model today – authentic, versatile, and deeply self-aware. Discovered at eleven and already a global face by her teens, Kari has grown into her craft with the kind of quiet confidence that only experience can bring.
