In 2023, Katya and Marina expanded with the sustainable lux- ury dress brand BAÉ, a term of endearment used to refer to a romantic partner or close friend offering dresses for special occasions. They also debuted at Riga Fashion Week in October of that year. The following April, BAÉ collaborated with adidas Riga to develop a fashion line blending style and opulence with the energy of athletics and strength at the cultural and entertain- ment centre Hanzas Perons during the 38th Riga Fashion Week. The brand’s collaborative runway canvas depicted sophisti- cation and urban flair, exploring the interplay between sport dynamism and refined grace. The eye-catching outfits curat- ed by stylist Sintija Selicka mixed rugged street elements with sleek elegance and were versatile for high-end events and casual streetwear. “The collection emphasised that style doesn’t have to sacrifice comfort, and fashion is an ever-evolving dialogue about personal identity and self-expression.” Based in Latvia, BAÉ emphasises artisanal touches by hand-mak- ing their accessories and craftsmanship in local Latvian fac- tories. Their ethos is to ‘make every girl feel special’ through thoughtfully designed dresses with adjustable straps for added comfort and customisable accents, like removable bows. They embrace sustainable luxury and redefine fashion with a com- mitment to eco-conscious practices. The brand believes wom- enswear should showcase timeless elegance and prioritise the planet’s wellbeing.

For SS25, BAÉ reimagined Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland in their Queen of Hearts collection in collaboration with Hua- wei’s GT5 Series watch at Riga Fashion Week. Inspired by Won- derland’s enchanting world and bold and unpredictable charm, the collection embraces whimsical elegance and playfulness through carefully crafted designs. It also brings the theme to life through bold cuts, intricate details, and imaginative elements that evoke a sense of fantasy to make every girl feel special. “Each piece turns everyday moments into a magical story, blend- ing fantasy with a modern twist,” says the brand. “It [celebrates] individuality, romance, and bold femininity.” Focusing on strik- ing silhouettes, luxurious textures, and imaginative details, BAÉ invites wearers to step into a world where fantasy meets fashion. “Imagine one dress transforming into multiple looks, allowing each woman to express her unique style easily.” Long flowing elegant dresses with intricate detailing and heart motifs, shorter cocktail dresses for formal and casual events, and customisable dresses with removable accessories cascaded down the runway. The luxurious and sustainable fabrics included silk for a smooth and elegant finish, lace added intricate and delicate detailing, and tulle created a whimsical and ethereal look. The colour palette included red for passion and love, white for purity and elegance and black for sophistication and contrast. https://baemoments.com Images courtesy of BAÉ
