For over twenty-five years, Antonio Riva has interpreted and renewed Italian haute couture, blending the elegance of tradition with a contemporary aesthetic and an unmistakable stylistic signature. His relentless pursuit of perfection has given life to creations that transcend the concept of a dress, transforming into true works of art.
His collections are showcased in the evocative spaces of Palazzo Toschi Corneliani in Milan and Palazzo Grazioli in Rome, venues steeped in history and charm that reflect the refined spirit of the brand. It is within these exclusive settings that a narrative of professionalism, passion, and artistic vision unfolds. Each creation is born from the encounter between the creative director’s inspiration and the unique identity of every woman, enhancing her essence with balance and grace.
At the end of the sartorial process, when the gown is refined in its final details, the Certificate of Authenticity takes on profound meaning: not only as proof of the garment’s uniqueness but also as a tangible memory of the savoir-faire that brought it to life.
The company’s production heart beats in Garlate, on Lake Como, where the entire manufacturing cycle takes place: pattern making, tailoring, finishing, and quality control. Every step unfolds within a space designed to unite functionality and aesthetics, where offices and production coexist in harmony. Minimalist style and rational organization foster constant synergy between the creative team and the expert seamstresses, guardians of an artisanal knowledge renewed day by day.
To merge tradition and innovation, Antonio Riva has embraced technology, embarking on a process of digitalization in partnership with Crea Solution, the Italian leader in fashion industry software. The introduction of the CAD system marked a significant turning point: enabling digital pattern design, fit simulations, real-time adjustments to every detail, and optimization of the entire production flow.
With the technological support of Crea Solution, the maison has improved collection management, increased responsiveness to market demands, and maintained consistently exceptional quality standards. Digital control of design and production phases ensures greater efficiency, faster modifications, and strong coherence between creative vision and final outcome.
In this way, Antonio Riva continues to innovate while honoring tradition, demonstrating that excellence can evolve while remaining true to its identity.
