RFW brings a unique combination of designer fashion and everyday style

One of the goals of the collaboration was to reveal the combination of designer fashion and everyday style, which, when combined, emphasized the individuality and uniqueness of each person.

The play with minimalist clean lines, graceful curves, voluminous shapes, and diverse textured materials are all characteristic elements of Miia Halmesmaa's collections, entirely crafted in Finland from high-quality eco-friendly materials.

At the RIGA FASHION WEEK runway, the pieces were complemented by accessories from the Stockmann department store, adding a ruggedness and sometimes a masculine character to the overall collection concept. The stylist for the show was Sergey Khatanzeytsky, the founder of the brand Volga Vintage, who had already established himself in creating fashion shows, including in collaboration with Stockmann.

"For me, design is a play with materials, and true inspiration lies in seeing how the same fabrics always result in something completely unique. In the new collection, I dispel the belief that a tracksuit is the most comfortable type of clothing. At RFW, guests will see garments made from flowing fabrics with sequins and bows, which will be absolutely wearable and comfortable for everyday life. In my work, I pay special attention to sustainability principles, so I create collections, including from leftover materials," says designer Miia Halmesmaa.

"This spring, Stockmann's show was complemented by Scandinavian accents executed by talented Finnish designers. The pieces were stylized in accordance with current trends in women's and men's fashion. The symbolism of the collaboration lay in the fact that the history of the Stockmann department store traced its roots back to Finland. For us, this was a specific performance without geographical boundaries, inspired by sustainable and Scandinavian fashion," said Stockmann's director, Dace Goldmane.
