DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT | AVANT TOI
NEW-SEASON AVANT TOI AT RIADA CONCEPT
Avant Toi calls for clothing that feels as good as it looks — pieces that invite touch, movement and ease. Discover Avant Toi, the Italian label known for its mastery of knitwear, artisanal finishes and quietly expressive design. With the arrival of the new season Avant Toi collection at Riada Concept, Woollahra.
This is layered dressing for women who value craftsmanship, softness and individuality — whether you’re fireside in Europe or navigating a Sydney summer with intention.
THE AVANT TOI AESTHETIC — TEXTURE OVER TREND
Avant Toi has always existed slightly outside the trend cycle. Known for its experimental dyeing techniques, washed finishes and tactile surfaces, the brand creates pieces that feel lived-in yet undeniably refined.
The new arrivals at Riada Concept continue this story — grounded in cashmere-silk blends, fluid silhouettes and nuanced winter tones that feel organic rather than seasonal.
CASHMERE-SILK KNITWEAR — THE HEART OF THE COLLECTION

At the centre of the new collection are Avant Toi’s signature cashmere-silk knitwear. Featherlight yet warming, these knits are designed to drape softly against the body, making them ideal for layering.
Style them oversized over silk palazzo pants for effortless elegance, or pair with tailored trousers for a relaxed yet polished look. The colour palette — muted neutrals, soft mineral tones and gentle washed hues — enhances their versatility and timeless appeal.
SILK PALAZZO PANTS — FLUIDITY MEETS FUNCTION
Avant Toi’s silk palazzo pants bring a sense of ease and movement to winter dressing. Lightweight yet substantial, they glide with the body and offer an elevated alternative to denim or tailoring.
Perfect for travel, lounging or dressing up with a fine knit and boots, these trousers embody the spirit of modern dressing — comfort without compromise, elegance without effort.
SCARVES — THE FINAL LAYER

No Avant Toi look is complete without a scarf. The new season selection features beautifully soft finishes and subtle tonal variations, designed to be worn loosely, wrapped generously or draped with intention.
They are the kind of pieces that transform an outfit — adding warmth, texture and that distinctly European sense of ease.
HOW TO STYLE AVANT TOI — THE RIADA WAY
-
Layer softly: Combine fine knits with fluid pants and scarves for depth without bulk.
-
Keep it tonal: Build looks in winter whites, stone, charcoal and soft earth tones.
-
Balance proportion: Pair oversized knits with wide-leg silk pants or slim trousers.
-
Let texture lead: Minimal accessories allow the fabric and finish to take centre stage.
