risk was founded in 2011 by two friends, antonina samecka and klara kowtun. the company reflects their tastes, their ideas and their way of life; everything that matters to them, really—from culture, great designs, through the enjoyment of wearing them, all the way to support for local craftsmanship and respect for planet earth. “our production is laid out with maximal environmental efforts in mind. we partner up with other companies like ourselves—ones that believe in sustainability, use renewable energy, minimise water use and co2 emissions, care about good work environment. we’re 100% in sync about the role of ethics in fashion, but as designers each of us has her own unique specialty,” klara says. “i love good old precision tailoring, which few people really want to deal with nowadays, but which makes our designs look great on actual people of different sizes and heights, and not just on touched-up perfect figures”. antonina’s passion is translating cultural stories into clothing collections, she also believes in the idea of comfort clothes. she always strives for risk garments to cheer you up, bring back good memories and, better yet, cultural references—just like soul food! “to us, clothes are made up of three things: the components, the make, and your experience when you wear it,” says antonina.
