RISKY ICONS
Signature designs. Some have spent years earning their icon status. Others were born with it.
DRESSES
Our dresses don’t compromise between comfort, sensuality and a mind of their own. They have it all.
OUR OWN PRINTS
We wear art. Our original prints tell stories you won’t find anywhere else.
“I love creating things no one has ever done before. That’s exactly what our 15th-anniversary project, RISK by PAWEL SWANSKI STUDIO, is all about. A unique, collector’s showcase of local craftsmanship – made in Warsaw.”
— Antonina Samecka, designer and founder of Risk made in Warsaw
LOVE LETTER TO POLAND
RISK starts in Warsaw, but comes to life in many places across Poland. In Kielce, Kobyłka, Legionowo, Łódź, Pabianice, Sępólno Krajeńskie and Żuromin, our ideas are turned into clothes. From the first button to the very last belt loop, everything is made close to home, by people we know and trust. We like knowing who makes RISK pieces and how they’re made. Because that’s how we know they’ll feel fabulous to wear – for years and years.
RISKY SHOP
We invite you to our boutique in Warsaw - new collections, unique designs, one-of-a-kind pieces from our studio, tea, good music, and us are waiting for you here. Stop by - we’d love to meet you in person. Plus, you can only truly experience the magic of our clothes by holding them in your hands. They say you won’t believe it until you try it on. ;)
Our Approach
Self-care fashion—designed by women for women. We’ve always been sewing in Poland.
#1
IT SHOULD BE COMFORTABLE
Good design is our obsession. Instead of using a stationary mannequin, we measure everything on real people who, when testing our garments, don’t just stand upright - they walk, jump, slouch, and bend over - they do everything you do in clothes in everyday life, not just in a tailor’s workshop. We test our designs on a wide range of body types - our testers range from 158 to 180 cm in height and have very diverse figures. A design isn’t finished until it fits perfectly on every body type and everyone feels comfortable in it.
The result? Incredible comfort - even in the most elegant pieces. And that sense of satisfaction when we hear that when you put on one of our clothes, it feels like it was made just for you. ;)
#2
QUALITY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
Our obsession with design perfection extends to everything - we love nothing more than hearing at the outset that something “can’t be done” and coming up with ideas that no one has ever tried before. It’s hard - which means it’s going to be interesting.
We love prototyping: designing our own prints, fabrics, zippers, and buttons. We develop our color palettes with fair, Slavic complexions in mind, because if something makes a pale complexion look beautiful, it will always look great on a tanned one, too. We’re obsessed with fabrics that are comfortable to wear. We only like fabrics that are incredibly soft and so durable that you can design clothes from them that you’ll want to wear forever.
#3
WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN SEWING IN POLAND
From the very beginning, we’ve been sewing everything in Poland. We work with local knitting mills and fabric suppliers, who always tell us that no one has such exacting quality standards as Risk. ;)
But it’s worth it - it’s so much more pleasant to wear clothing that’s been sewn with artisanal attention to the quality of every single detail - right here, in Poland. A dress like this simply has better energy, and you’ll get more pleasure from wearing it. For many years to come.
