Les Benjamins Travels From "SEOUL to BUSAN" for SS20 Collection
Delivering cycling gear-indebted pieces.
Bünyamin Aydin‘s label Les Benjamins has looked to The Four Rivers Path, Korea’s most popular cross country bicycle trail from Seoul to Busan, for its Spring/Summer 2020 collection.
The offering is titled “SEOUL to BUSAN” and draws influence from cycling gear, creating a collection that’s luxurious and tailored while indebted in design elements taken from activewear. Each piece is cut from a technical fabric that could be suited to cycling, while some pieces even incorporate utilitarian pockets on them or feature a protective coating, such as on the parkas.
As a result, there are a number of standout hybrid pieces in the SS20 collection. Notable mentions include a viscose shirt and short co-ord printed with a hazy night sky, the women’s biking dress, the unisex blazers, and the range of coach jackets. There is also a variety of graphic-printed T-shirts, bottoms and some cozy staples, such as hoodies, sweats and tracksuits.
