Departing from the spiritual homelands of the Tuareg peoples and traversing Africa’s desert steppes, the collection delves into a lucid graphic universe of bold colour, texture, and line, from where the ‘Blue Men’ emerge.
Evolving and elevating the athletic silhouette of Les Benjamins’ wardrobe, new developments in natural and technical fabrics imbue a rich sense of modern antiquity to the silhouette – fusing opulent treatments with effortless shapes.
Designer Bunyamin Aydin of fers a respectful nod to the vibrant blue ‘Alasho‘ tones of the Tuareg uniforms throughout the collection, blended through with blacks, deep purples, and the sandy desert tones of the Sahara. Ceremonial body painting is observed as bold brushstrokes across fabric, as are touches of African Animalia prints: zebra stripes and leopard spots align with colour-blocked paneling for a bold, streamlined impact.
