DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: Umit Benan

It's rare to come across a new designer that balances consumer practicality and high fashion imagination like Umit Benan.  Umit Benan's menswear label consists of staple sportswear pieces re-imagined with luxurious fabrics and eye-catching details. Each collection is inspired by a specific lifestyle for a truly captivating and exciting show each season. 


When I first came across his shows I was impressed by his execution and how he was able to completely control the shows ambiance to give the audience a true feel for his inspiration behind the collection. His runway shows are incredibly theatrical yet each clothing item is so wearable for day-to-day.
