RIZ POLI FW24 during Paris Fashion Week

RIZ POLI unveiled the Fall Winter 2024 – 2025 collection with entitled EMERGENCE

The Riz Poli’s show venue boasts an impressive all-glass façade, oversized door, and a ground floor with astonishingly high ceilings, setting the stage for its grandeur.

Between 2009 and 2019, this building was home to LA GENERALE in association with ACTES IF. Then, from 2020 to 2024, LE CONSULAT took over the venue.

The concept of ‘EMERGENCE’ mirrors the construction of this building, comprising countless components, each operating according to its unique characteristics which creates a system when added together.

My obsession lies in both the garment and the system. By deconstructing clothing and examining objects from various perspectives through different arrangements, I uncover emergent phenomena and meanings.

Inspired by the work of Stella Zhang and Mahdavi, we treated garments as layers, incorporating interval shirting or slip dresses between two-layer mesh, or using different materials. We deconstructed and reconstructed pants, jeans, and denim, emphasizing fundamental components.

And we accentuated details like collars and garment edges — elements often overlooked.

The color palette and fabric of RIZ POLI FW24 serve as grey matter additions, mirroring reality, emotions, and the nature surrounding us.

Similarly, in Talita Otović’s music, existing structures are reconsidered, deliberately disrupted, or injected with “noise” to prompt a reconsideration of overlooked aspects we take for granted.

The RIZ POLI Fall Winter 2024 – 2025 collection show takes place within the venue’s interior, covered with see-through bache, encouraging the audience to reconceptualize the relationship among all existing components.
