ARIMA—meaning soul in Basque—reflects on what remains at the origin of things, even after the process itself has come to an end. The SS27 collection is rooted in the act of cultivation, understood as a practice of care, time and responsibility, where sowing, nurturing and harvesting become ways of engaging with living processes and with the land.
Inspired by Basque rural culture, ARIMA explores the memory embedded in materials, objects and knowledge passed down through generations. The vegetable garden becomes a symbolic space where nature, community and creativity coexist, celebrating slower rhythms, craftsmanship and continuity over immediacy.
The collection approaches fashion as a living process, shaped by decisions, people and shared knowledge that leave an invisible trace within every garment. Through this perspective, ARIMA reflects on the relationship between tradition and contemporary creation, highlighting the value of everyday rituals and what endures over time. Rather than presenting an agricultural narrative, the collection offers a meditation on care, time and the connection between people, landscape and the creative process.
