Ri Radaelli

"Over the years I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who's wearing it."

Yves Saint Laurent

With over 3 decades of experience in the Fashion Industry Ri has managed to make women fall in love with what they wear and how they present themselves.
Ri has a natural flair for the Fashion Industry and understands customer dynamics better than most, this invaluable understanding and natural flair comes from having worked for Queens Park and Nicci Boutique to name but a few, her studies through Chata Romana and other courses such as merchandising & window dressing has added to her wealth of knowledge and experience.

Being a trusted & recognised expert in the industry many women have turned to Ri for consultation on styling and fashion advise along with advice on purchasing the correct items.
Ri has always been able to understand a client’s ethos in determining an image in order to develop a wardrobe that is authentic to the client. She is steadfast in her belief that “The development of taste is about ‘feeling’ what is best for the client to reflect who they are, not just about wearing expensive things” simultaneously she believes that “Fashion trends are a moving target so achieving a balance between the latest international trends and the local cultures and nuances will allow you to achieve and maintain a wardrobe that is timeless and relevant.”

The post pandemic world has changed the way people interpret and perceive fashion amongst other things although a subtle change it has had an exaggerated outcome. Sustainable Fashion has become a way of life not just a buzz word or fashion trend, yes there will always be “first takers” thriving on being the first to have something new or the latest trends however the vast majority of people have deprioritized the latest fashion trends and have moved their focus to sustainable yet trendy fashion. Through this, thrifting has emerged as a completely new market where one could have quality products in a more affordable way.

The “first taker” market tends to thrive off the enjoyment of the latest fashion as they regularly stay up-to-date with the latest trends, they off load items quickly therefore becoming a sustainable source for gently worn or even brand-new products to the thrifting industry.
Ri has utilised this as an opportunity to become a home for ‘pre-loved’ clothing given her vast experience within the industry to now supply these beautiful items to new homes through the implementation of an online store alongside various social media platforms to purchase from.
