Avant Toi: Wearable Art from Italy

There’s a point where clothing moves beyond function and into something more expressive. The latest arrivals from Avant Toi sit firmly in that space — pieces defined by texture, colour, and the hand of the maker.

Each garment is developed through artisanal processes, with fabrics treated, painted, and finished in Italy. The result is clothing that feels individual, rather than uniform — no two pieces exactly the same.

Hand-Painted Silks

Silk is approached with a more experimental lens. Hand-painted finishes introduce depth and variation, shifting the fabric away from anything overly polished.

These pieces work best when styled simply — paired back with tailored trousers or layered under soft outerwear — allowing the colour and texture to remain the focus.

 

 

Cashmere Knits

Cashmere is reworked through treatment and dyeing techniques that give it a more lived-in, textured finish. The silhouettes remain relaxed, designed to sit easily within a layered wardrobe.

Worn over shirts or under jackets, these knits bring softness to more structured pieces without losing their shape.

 

 

Laminated Linen Jackets

Outerwear introduces a more directional element. Laminated linen jackets offer structure with a subtle sheen, balancing natural fabric with a more technical finish.

They function as statement layers, but remain wearable — designed to elevate everyday combinations without feeling overdone.

 

 

A Different Approach to Dressing

What defines Avant Toi is its process. Rather than focusing on trend, the brand works through material — exploring how fabric can be altered, treated, and reinterpreted.

At Riada Concept, these pieces sit alongside more minimal, structured elements — creating contrast between clean tailoring and expressive texture.
