RIGA FASHION WEEK starts today

UNPOLISHED CHARM

London is a place where the air carries both tradition and rebellion, where cobblestone streets whisper old stories beneath new footsteps. Black and white elegance, soft 60s light, structured tailoring, a calm man between motion and stillness. This is vintage masculine elegance not staged, but lived. The art of appearing effortless while every detail holds intention.

"I see this collection as a big family of garments, all of which have multiple purposes and personalities: like people, they grow and change each day. I am always interested in the clothes that we really live in: and the idea of archetypes and wardrobe staples was the starting point for this very special and joyful project with H&M." – Glenn Martens.

RIGA FASHION WEEK will take place in the Latvian capital from October 20 to 24, and this season will go down in history as the season of debuts. A similar trend is unfolding on runways worldwide this autumn — with creative director changes, new names, and rising stars. A total of 17 brands from Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Belgium, and Uzbekistan will present their collections in Riga, with 12 of them making their RFW debut. In addition to the shows, a series of educational initiatives focused on sustainable development are planned, as well as exhibitions at the intersection of fashion and contemporary art.

Ukrainian brand GASANOVA presented its first couture collection with a sensational show.

Naked Purity

Moncler and JW Anderson are teaming up once again. The Italian house’s technical mastery meets the British designer’s conceptual flair in a capsule built around two statement puffers—one for men, one for women.

Although she is just starting her international career, Antonia Aurelia Pfeiffer is already successfully combining her studies at City St George's Business School with the world of modeling, demonstrating that discipline and creativity complement each other perfectly.
