About this experience
Riga is a city of masters. Latvia has long been proud of its craftsmen: weavers, blacksmiths, glass blowers. The sea and local amber, the forest and wood, the fields and flax are sources of inspiration for the creativity of modern designers. I will tell you about the state of affairs in Latvian fashion and show the most unusual showrooms of local designers. I will help you explore all genres and styles of Latvian fashion avant-garde. And if you love unique handmade items, I will show you where to find them.
Program
- We will start at the former Riga Fashion House building - the most stylish fashion house in the Soviet Union. The magazine "Rigas modes" excited the hearts of fashionistas of all ages for many years. I will tell you how Riga designers dressed the entire country.
- Next, we will take a stroll through my favorite passage, where a designer hotel and an old cinema, gastro pub and delicious croissants from a real Frenchman coexist. Here we are interested in the multi-brand boutique. Several designers, several styles plus fashionable accessories. I will help you try on the image of a Riga-Parisian woman. Quickly, two salons open their doors to us along with their collections. The combination of rough wool and delicate silk, fairy tales and tragedies, fantasies and realities.
- Let's catch our breath at the most stylish confectionery with a cup of coffee with balsam - and onwards! On the way, a few hasty words about history and architecture. You will see some of the best examples of Jugendstil.
- If you're lucky, you'll have a meeting with the Master. One of the Latvian designers will talk about his new collection. You will have a unique opportunity to personally ask questions about style. If not, just buy the models you like. After all, what sets Our designer apart from, say, a French one, is that he is just as much a master of his craft, only much more accessible. Enjoy!
- Two shoe boutiques and a studio of young designers will help us wrap up our fashionable stroll. Or maybe an ellipsis?..
