Dear Shaded Viewers,
I landed in Riga yesterday to attend the 18th edition of Fashion Week, which is taking place until the 6th of April. Our trip started with the opening of Paviljons, a concept store mixing Latvian designers with international brands. Fashion is an important form of self-expression in Riga, and I was surprised to see how many young designers create and produce their collections here. Relaxed and unpretentious, Paviljons introduces some of the city's stronger talents to a wider audience, such as One wolf, ZIB, QooQoo, Woolings, and many others. Guests mingled and shopped, while sipping some fresh cocktails.
I'll be reporting on the actual shows later.
Best,
Philippe
