For 102 years, Rizik's has been outfitting Washington women in fine fashion. The secret to such long-lasting success? Creative Director John Kiser says it has to do with the merchandise--it is always appropriate and classic and holds up over time. "I like that Rizik's is so established. We carry some of the same labels as Saks but we don't have a department store mentality," John said. "We dress you for the occasion; we're much more like personal shoppers here and do a lot of custom orders as well."
John is the creative force behind Rizik's inspired and innovative window displays and has been with Rizik's for 25 years. From inaugural gowns, bridal, furs, jewelry and more, Rizik's specializes in making women shine at their special occasions. But that's not all, John says. They carry many affordable dresses as well, starting at around $170. Rizik's is also a great place to check out sportswear from Italy or bridal designs from LA designers--they host many trunk shows that showcase new fashions from around the world. A century old and still stylish? Not many can claim that--check out Rizik's yourself to find out why they can. Learn more about Rizik's »
