Ahiri SS23, as captured by Renata Kaveh

On March 13, Toronto-based ready-to-wear brand Ahiri dropped its SS23 collection. Glossi Mag is taking you through the playful campaign visuals, captured by Renata Kaveh.

 

For the womenswear label’s 41-piece collection, head of design Michael Jafine drew inspiration from an escapist mentality, adventure and Y2K. Cult-classic Valley Of The Dolls was the lead reference for Ahiri’s first spring/summer campaign, tying into the brand’s moody aesthetic displayed in its debut FW22 campaign.
