"Officina" in "OFFICINA SLOWEAR" means "workshop" in Italian.
Slowear is a coined term inspired by "slow food" and "slow life," representing a collective of brands that embody an elegance meant to transcend time, rather than chase fleeting trends.
The temporary "OFFICINA SLOWEAR" shop recreates the SLOWEAR world at Omotesando Hills, with a spatial design reminiscent of the brand's Italian showrooms, housed in a renovated factory dating back to the early 1900s.
Everything used for the display, from the ladders and fixtures to the rugs, was brought over from Italy, and four authorities from Italy came to Japan to oversee the setup.
The brands offered for men and women include INCOTEX, founded in 1951 and now a world-class pant brand; ZANONE, a knitwear brand that continues to pursue comfort and style with simplicity; GLANSHIRT (men's only), born in the 60s, a casual shirt brand with washed finishes that still exudes elegance;
and MONTEDORO, which began as a raincoat brand in 1958 and has since evolved into a sophisticated outerwear brand. These four brands are presented to showcase the SLOWEAR world.
Within this relaxed and luxurious space, the showroom-like presentation of items allows visitors to appreciate the high degree of coordination possible with individual pieces and naturally understand the Slowear concept.
