PAUSE X LES BENJAMINS: Fall/Winter 2021 Collection

Race Ready.

Turkey has a well-documented history with rally culture, filled with racing legends that have made their mark over the years.

The new Autumn/Winter collection — titled “Forgotten Pacenotes” — takes its cues from the infamous style of racing icons Renç Koçibey, Serdar Bostanci, and Ali Sipahi, for a linage that the brand describes as subverting classical racewear, inspired by the sport, and “merged with athleisure”.

The capsule is split into two collections ‘’Rally-Style’’ and ‘’Crash & Repair’’, which, according to the Istanbul-based label, “narrates the entire cycle of the rally, from the pilot’s initial preparation to the actual race”. Combining functionality with comfort, this season is dominated by lightweight knitwear and uniform-esque silhouettes which have been modified via distressed carpet jacquard, oil spill prints, and additional utilitarian details.
