Les Benjamins Spring/Summer 2024 ‘Kismet Voyage East to West’ Collection
JUNE 21, 2023 → WORDS ADRIÁN GOMIS EXPÓSITO
Les Benjamins, our favorite contemporary Istanbul-based streetwear brand founded by Bünyamin Aydin, presents an incredible collection for the Spring/Summer 2024 season. Named Kismet Voyage East to West, it takes inspiration from Turkeys’ rich heritage to create a boundary-pushing range of pieces that combine comfort, futurism, heritage, and functionality, implementing all these values into the collection. It also pays homage to Sadun Boro, the first Turkish amateur sailor to circumnavigate the globe by sailing vessel, taking the name from his voyage and his beloved sailing boat.
For Kismet Voyage East to West, Les Benjamins have outdone themselves once again. With high attention to detail, the Spring/Summer 2024 collection has a very unique color palette paired with a really fresh take on cuts and silhouettes, making the most of every element to showcase the essence of the collection through key elements such as avant-garde pieces with nautical-inspired details and tailoring, blending futuristic touches with a worn-in and nostalgic aesthetic.
Just like the fabled journey undertaken by Boro, Les Benjamins’ new collection trots the globe from East to West, taking wearers on a journey from the beginning of the race to the anticipated final awards ceremony.
The first part of the collection takes inspiration from sailing with lightweight nylon fabrics, degraded leathers, shades of denim, and recycled materials with details that reference ropes, hand-made macrame, and contemporary cuts, with inspiration taken from vintage oil posters and sailing recruitment adverts, adding a touch of playfulness. The second part is an ode to the gilded glamour of the legendary sail’s awards ceremony, with silk, tailored fabrics, and structured shapes. Tailored suits and multi-layered silhouettes balance the collection, with the vibrant color palette paying homage to the rich world of marine life and the ocean itself. Unique and versatile, the collection will fascinate everyone.
The collection is now showcasing at Paris Fashion Week and will be on sales next Spring/Summer 2024. Stay tuned!
