In haute couture, fabric defines not only the design but the very soul of a creation. Among the many noble textiles in Antonio Riva Milano’s world, mikado stands as a true emblem of sculptural beauty, a material that bridges strength and grace, structure and light. With its subtle sheen and impeccable weight, mikado becomes the designer’s tool for building architectural volumes that move with effortless elegance.

Mikado’s distinctive body allows for silhouettes that are both architectural and fluid. Each fold retains its shape, each pleat captures the light, creating an interplay of shadow and brilliance that gives the gown its living form. In the hands of Antonio Riva Milano’s artisans, this fabric transforms into pure art, a dialogue between precision and poetry.

Whether framing a bride’s timeless vision or gracing an evening silhouette, it remains a testament to Italian craftsmanship at its finest.

For more than twenty-five years, Antonio Riva has explored the harmony between architecture and emotion. His creations are born from a deep understanding of structure, volume, and light, balanced by a poetic sensitivity that gives every gown its soul.

Through the strength of mikado, the designer sculpts silhouettes that celebrate the female form with precision and grace.
