After Paris, London, and Scotland, it finally arrives in Tokyo
Rika, an Amsterdam-based brand, encompasses the RTW collection "Rika," the bi-annual "Rika Magazine," and "Maison Rika," which also houses a guesthouse. Founded in 2010, "Rika Magazine" is an independent and creative publication featuring self-reliant women, known as "Rika girls," as models, and collaborating with top creators.
This exhibition showcases intimate fashion stories featuring women who have inspired Ulrika Lundgren, the designer and editor-in-chief.
The exhibition features a diverse cast of women, including Liv Tyler, Tao Okamoto, and Linda Rodin, with photography by supermodel Helena Christensen. Helena, also from Ulrika's hometown, embodies both strength and feminine grace. In this exhibition, she captures the candid moments of models in their most intimate settings.
The featured item is the brand's signature BOYS SHIRTS (VIPER SHIRTS). The VIPER SHIRTS, while key to a masculine aesthetic, can also express elegant and sexy femininity through its carefully considered sizing, making it a popular piece. The muses, embodying the mood of "Real love and friends"—the theme of the Fall/Winter 2014-15 RTW collection—are captured wearing the shirt freely, accentuating their individual personalities. Additionally, coinciding with the 10th issue celebration, a special edition of "Rika Magazine" with ten different covers will also be unveiled.
During the exhibition, United Arrows Harajuku Main Store Women's Building will also host a pre-order event for Rika's Fall/Winter 2014 collection.
