On the capital’s main runway, collections were presented by Latvian designers: Natalija Jansone, Iveta Vecmane, Katya Katya, Verens, Una Berzina, Selina Keer, and BAÉ by Katya Shehurina.
The international segment featured BERTH (Hong Kong / UK) — a debut at RFW made possible through a partnership with Fashion Scout — as well as Rimgailaite Costume (Lithuania), Szczygiel (Poland), Ivo Nikkolo (Estonia), ArtisainT by Lena Lumelsky (Belgium), and Novaliss (Spain).
The fashion events were complemented by a rich cultural program. For the first time, RFW hosted a series of lectures on fashion photography in collaboration with ISSP. On the opening day, Līga Zemturne, editor-in-chief of “LÉOPARD” magazine, presented a talk titled “Fashion Photography for Fashion Magazine”. Photographers Vika Anisko, Natalia Berezina, Miks Užāns, and Madara Šaicāne shared their experiences, techniques, and creative processes in fashion photography.
The Museum of Private Collections opened an exhibition of antique irons from the 18th to 20th centuries. In addition, RFW guests were invited to view “NOME” — an art manifesto by Elīna Malygina at MuseumLV — as well as “Layers”, a Baltic contemporary glass exhibition at the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design.
Each day of RFW has ended with vibrant and stylish parties.
