AOKI Launches New Summer Collection for 'Kami-Raku Setup', Perfect for Business and Occasion Wear During Summer Heat and Rainy Seasons

AOKI Co., Ltd. (President: Akihiro Aoki) has launched a new summer collection for its 'Kami-Raku Setup' from the high-functional women's apparel brand 'MeWORK®', designed for the extreme heat and rainy season.

Featuring three lineups that balance functionality and design—including items made with refreshing linen-like materials, elegant drape materials, and water-repellent materials—the collection is suitable for everything from business scenes to glamorous occasions.

Products are available at AOKI stores nationwide and the official AOKI online shop (some items are available in select stores only).

■ Comfortable formal wear for hot and rainy days
This season's collection features three setups focusing on material texture and functionality:

- 'Linen-like Breeze Setup': Features a light appearance using popular linen-like material, with a 360-degree flattering silhouette supervised by designer Akiko Ogawa. It includes high breathability, sweat-wicking/quick-drying properties, and UV protection.

- 'Drape Stretch Setup': Offers an elegant, relaxed look with beautiful draping. The material has a moderate thickness suitable for long seasons, with cooling sensation and UV protection. A dress version is also available.

- 'Airy Dry Setup': Features a matte finish to suppress luster, high heat shielding, UV protection, and water-repellent processing to handle sudden rain.
