Fashion and furniture: a combination to dress
Ritos offers garments capable of reinventing everyday clothing: sweatshirts and trousers present unexpected volumes and movements thanks to a contamination with elements belonging to interior decoration and the world of furniture which, reinterpreted in a contemporary key, evoke the distant charm of cultures and traditions.
Contamination, research and craftsmanship are the aspects that define a project which, thanks to its multicultural and inclusive attitude, encourages the maximum expression of freedom through the language of clothing.
In the Spring/Summer 2023 collection the garments are characterized by the hand-applied sophisticated trimmings; the soft and essential lines of the workwear melt unexpectedly with the elaborate details of the borders, giving rise to interesting contrasts. Garments in black, white and gray tones acquire a strong and decisive three-dimensionality, an effect given by the craftsmanship of the trimmings but also by zips that allow you to 'open' the garments transforming their configuration.
The protagonists of the Autumn/Winter 2023 collection, on the other hand, are fabrics from the world of interiors; materials with geometric and floral patterns with a vintage flavour, traditionally used to cover upholstered furniture such as sofas, armchairs, chairs, are transformed into jackets, t-shirts, sweatshirts, trousers. Fringes, tassels and trimmings are also applied in this case together with oversized zips that combine functionality with decoration.
“I can say that I have in a certain sense reversed the process”, continues Seletti. "Up to now I have often been inspired by fashion to enrich my work in design, with Ritos instead I draw on the world of furnishings bringing some elements into fashion".
