This season RIGA FASHION WEEK presents a new and unique image reflecting the mood of the forthcoming Fashion Week, created by the leading Latvian stylist Olga Kolotova on the basis of an outfit from the aw2017 collection by NARCISS.
“This time the image is based on the combination of grunge and luxury. Such contrasting solutions have become the basis of the modern fashion; romantic appeal of nihilism, informality and freedom of soul characterize these tendencies which become very topical on the background of the time proved classics. In this case this is the clothing by the Latvian brand NARCISS which is supplemented with expressive details and reference to the style of the 60s,” the author of the RFW image, Olga Kolotova says.
