Rie Yamagata, a Parsons and St. Martins graduate, began her iconic brand RHIE as a knitwear line in 2011 after working with fashion greats such as Phillip Lim and Tsumori Chisato. RHIE soon turned into a full collection, aiming to "distill an image of an intelligent, freshly defined woman." With an emphasis on quality of materials, tailoring, and subtle details, RHIE presents a modern take on knitwear and represents a brand that "speaks in a language of precision without ever losing its element of ease". Only available at the finest boutiques across the world, RHIE provides luxurious comfort and coziness while including sophisticated details and a timeless silhouette.
