Han by Barbara Rizzi: A Symphony of Strength, Elegance, and Heritage

March 7, 2025 - News

In the luminous realm of Luxury Fashion for Women, Barbara Rizzi unveils Han, an extraordinary collection for Woman FW 2025 inspired by the deep cultural legacy of Korea and reinterpreted through the mastery of Woman Fashion Made in Italy. This is more than fashion; it is a narrative woven with threads of strength, resilience, and ethereal beauty.

A Story of Han: Between Pain and Empowerment

Rooted in the profound Korean concept of Han, this collection embodies a complex emotion—a lingering sorrow shaped by history, yet transformed into a breathtaking aesthetic of hope and power. Barbara Rizzi’s vision transcends mere clothing; it tells a story of struggle, redemption, and the unyielding elegance of the modern woman.

Much like the tigress, a revered symbol in Korean culture, the BR woman is fierce yet graceful, powerful yet delicate. The fabrics flow with movement, reflecting both the sinuous strength of a warrior and the soft embrace of femininity. The interplay between brocades, micro-sequins, and sheer chiffons creates an exquisite contrast, echoing the resilience of those who wear them.

The Art of Craftsmanship: Woman Fashion Made in Italy

Each silhouette in Han pays tribute to the artistry of Italian tailoring, bringing together sumptuous textures and structured elegance. The hanbok, Korea’s traditional attire, serves as a foundational inspiration: the voluminous skirts (chima) and cropped jackets (jeogori) are reinterpreted with modern cuts, luxurious layering, and meticulous embellishments.

Signature elements of the collection include:

• Structured knitwear that mirrors the elegance of jeogori, blending tradition with contemporary design.
• Brocades reminiscent of Jinhae’s cherry blossoms, capturing the poetic beauty of Korea’s timeless landscapes.
• Intricate norigae prints and embroidery, transforming these ancient talismans into wearable amulets of luck and protection.

The Luxury Fashion for Women showcased in Han is an ode to resilience and grace, proving that beauty and strength are inseparable.

A Prêt-à-Porter Fashion Collection with Distinctive Elegance

Designed for the modern woman, Han is a Prêt-à-Porter fashion collection that seamlessly blends tradition and innovation. Its versatile silhouettes transition effortlessly from day to evening, offering refined elegance for every occasion.

By embracing Prêt-à-Porter fashion, Barbara Rizzi makes Luxury Fashion for Women not just an aspiration but a reality—where impeccable craftsmanship meets everyday sophistication.

A Palette of Power: The Colors of Han

At the heart of the collection lies bordeaux, symbolizing depth, passion, and strength, qualities intrinsic to the Woman Empowering philosophy of BR. This commanding shade is accompanied by:

• Marsala & magenta, evoking the richness of heritage.
• Brass & vinaceous hues, embodying regal opulence.
• Deep teal & emerald green, reflecting the designer’s soul and creative essence.
• Dark wine & purple, infusing mystery and power.

These shades do not simply adorn the garments; they tell a story of strength, elegance, and timeless femininity.

A Collection of Destiny and Magic

Barbara Rizzi’s first encounter with Korea was a moment of destiny—a silent yet powerful revelation. The majesty of the royal palaces, the serenity of lotus-covered ponds, and the intricate beauty of ancient architecture left an indelible mark on her creative soul.

This collection is not just fashion; it is a celebration of heritage and fate. The peacock and the tiger—two recurring motifs in BR’s collections—return in Han as symbols of power, luck, and beauty. In Korean tradition, warriors adorned their helmets with peacock feathers before battle, a ritual echoed in the collection’s bold detailing
