Antonio Riva Milano | Atelier Line AR DÉCO Collection | CAPSULE PEONY
From the peony, the symbolic flower of the maison, comes an exclusive print available on clothing and accessories. From the desire to create a graphic narrative of the iconic codes of the maison, creative director Antonio Riva makes the peony the protagonist of a special moment in the new SS24 collection.
Considered in the oriental tradition as the ‘queen of all flowers’ for its elegance, it evolves into the central element of an exclusive print that comes to life on pure silk scarves with contrasting profiles and is then made available in a mini collection. Light and impalpable fabrics such as organza become the canvas on which the designer then takes up the print, painting springtime corollas in shades of pink and powdery, wrapped in bows, to give life to the Peony capsule. Six garments are offered in nude and teal shades: two long dresses, two midi dresses, and two shirts with important volumes enriched by maxi bows and ruffles that give three-dimensionality.
The capsule adds a romantic and contemporary touch to the larger AR Déco collection, presented in the Atelier of Corso Venezia in Milan and inspired by the classic forms of the artistic movement of the same name from the 1920s and 1930s. The modernist tones of the collection, enhanced by the drama of the color combinations are diluted by the softness, transparencies, and romanticism conferred by iconic elements of the Maison, among which precisely the Peony capsule emerges. Silk, chiffon, tulle, and lace in pastel tones combine with those bolder ones of blue, teal, and black in long and midi dresses with deep necklines and bare backs, in flouncy skirts and elegant mikado pants. Protagonists are the ruffles, feathers and floral embroidery that have always illuminated the magical tale of Antonio Riva Milano.
