ANTONIO RIVA MILANO Opens the Garlate Manufactory for Apritimoda.

On October 25 and 26, 2025, on the occasion of ApritiModa, Antonio Riva Milano opens the doors of his Garlate Manufactory (Lecco, Italy), inviting enthusiasts and industry professionals to discover up close the excellence of his sartorial craftsmanship.

Outside, the large building on Via Stoppani welcomes visitors with the unmistakable logo of the Maison; inside, a guided tour through tulle, organza, silk mikado, lace, and other precious materials reveals every stage in the creation of a couture gown.

Within the Garlate workshop, the entire sartorial process comes to life: every gesture — from hand-drawn patterns to fabric cutting, from stitching to finishing — is carried out with precision and passion.

The Manufactory represents the productive heart of the Maison, where Lombard silk traditions and textile mastery come together to create unique, wearable works of art.

Over the years, Creative Director Antonio Riva has built a distinctive identity: essential lines, architectural volumes, and three-dimensional accents that blend tradition and innovation.

His creations — true dress-sculptures — are showcased in the Maison’s prestigious ateliers: Palazzo Toschi Corneliani in Milan, Palazzo Grazioli in Rome, and the recently opened Tokyo atelier.

ApritiModa thus offers the opportunity to step into the very heart of the Maison’s creative and production process, experiencing Italian sartorial excellence in every detail. It is an authentic showcase where knowledge, tradition, and experimentation intertwine — revealing the soul of every gown signed Antonio Riva Milano.
