ICON SERIES: Viktorija Bauzyte

The year 2026 introduces INTERLUDE - an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.

Meet our muse and friend, Barcelona-based Lithuanian model Viktorija Bauzyte, as she shares her perspective on finding balance and staying grounded.

When are your personal interludes?

I think I like the late afternoons the most, when all the day rush kind of starts just quieting down and you slowly ease into the evening, but you still have a few kind of warm, nice moments to look forward to, like, you know, cooking up a nice meal for dinner, or or like an evening walk with my dog, or just cozying up on the couch and stuff. Like, it’s really this like easing into the slow evening. This is my favourite part.

And when the world feels loud, where do you go - physically or mentally - to find stillness?

In a world that never seems to slow down, I think it's so important to create little moments for ourselves. My boyfriend and I have this small ritual where we go for a stroll and grab a coffee. We find a bench, sit together, and simply watch the world go by. I love observing people.

I've also loved colouring ever since I was little. I'm not particularly good at drawing, but I love colours - watching them blend, shift in tone, and mix together. It becomes almost like a form of meditation, a moment where I'm completely present with myself, and everything else slowly quiets down and fades away. Because noise doesn't always have to come from the outside.

Does your wardrobe shifts when you move from like high energy moments into
quieter interludes during the day?

I think I always prioritize the comfort. Therefore, I think I always go from comfortable to even more comfortable, from baggy jeans and loose oversized shirts to sweats and hoodies. And actually, when I do slow down and take a moment for myself, this is where I push myself out of out of my comfort zone. This is where I take a moment to be a little bit more creative with my outfits and try out new things and new combinations. Or when you take that quality time with the ones you care about, whether it’s a girl night out or like a nice romantic dinner with your boyfriend or something, this is also when you take time to dress up a little bit more and you pay more attention in what you wear.
