As you go through your day,
before you realize it,
you find yourself constantly responding to something.
Work.
Home.
What needs to be done next.
Once one thing is finished,
you move on to the next role.
This collection, "UNA PAUSA,"
was born as a small "pause"
in the midst of such daily life.
"UNA PAUSA" is an Italian term
meaning "a break" or "a pause."
Not to stop completely,
but to slow down just a little,
so that you can start moving again in your own way.
In this collection,
we cherish that feeling.
In Rome,
there is a custom called "Aperitivo."
After work,
taking a small detour,
and spending time with a drink in hand.
It’s not a special occasion,
but a small shift in gears
to keep your busy day from just ending the same way.
We thought of this collection
as an extension of that time.
To be relaxed,
yet still somehow elegant.
To be effortless,
yet leave a natural impression.
In the light summer air,
to blend into daily life with ease.
Soft materials.
Silhouettes that don't cling to the skin.
A lightness that catches the breeze.
Summer is a season where not layering too much is just right.
That is precisely why
how a single piece looks,
and the overall atmosphere, become even more important.
Regarding this collection,
Director AYA and Creative Director Cocco
spoke as follows:
"Rather than trying to look perfectly put-together,
we wanted to create clothes that make you feel a little more relaxed the moment you put them on."
"We would be happy if these pieces could exist as something that lets you shift your perspective, even just a little, in your busy daily life."
In this collection,
we have gathered items that accompany such summer days.
To be worn without effort.
Yet, to subtly change your mood.
Existing as an extension of your daily life,
these pieces are here to help you shift your perspective, if only just a little.
From here on, we will introduce the recommended items and the reasons behind them from the Director and Creative Director.
◼︎Director AYA
No.01
【Recommended Item】
Spiaggia Stole
【Reason for Choice】
The soft and comfortable texture unique to 100% cotton.
Also, I personally bought this because its exquisite rectangular size blends into any styling like a part of the outfit just by draping it over the shoulders, perfectly completing the look.
【Favorite Point】
The back-cut jacquard gives it a deep, embroidery-like texture, making it a piece that lifts your spirits just by wearing it, especially during the season when outfits tend to be simple due to the heat!
No.02
【Recommended Item】
Aperitivo Linen Balloon Blouse “White”
【Reason for Choice】
It’s a linen and viscose blend with a washed finish. This combination, designed to make linen look elegant rather than rustic, is a typical Italian approach to material development, achieving an effortless sense of luxury.
【Favorite Point】
The embroidery featuring cocktail motifs inspired by the Aperitivo, which manages to be both delicate and subtly playful.
The balloon silhouette creates an understated sense of style.
◼︎Creative Director Cocco
No.01
【Recommended Item】
Marina Gilet
【Reason for Choice】
It uses a generous amount of Italian linen fabric unique to aLORS, and the design is fully infused with a European flair.
【Favorite Point】
This item, with its mandarin frog buttons, could be called the uniform for a European vacation.
The combination of Italian fabric and silhouette with oriental-style buttons creates a unique sense of sophistication!
No.02
【Recommended Item】
Tutto a Posto Pouch (2-way pouch)
【Reason for Choice】
Because it uses exotic animal-embossed leather that instantly makes any outfit look sophisticated just by adding it to your styling.
【Favorite Point】
By applying a wild crocodile-embossed pattern to soft, skin-friendly, elegant Italian leather and finishing it in a ladylike mini-pouch clutch style, it significantly elevates the perfection of your everyday outfit!
Even if you cannot suddenly change
your busy daily life,
there are days when wearing your favorite clothes
makes your breathing feel a little deeper.
I hope that "UNA PAUSA"
can become such a small space of respite for you.
