LES BENJAMINS RESORT 2024 COLLECTION

The new collection takes inspiration from the glamour of the Turkish Riviera, with an earthy colour palette and bohemian styles.

Luxury Istanbul-based streetwear brand Les Benjamins has unveiled its new Resort 24 collection, inspired by the nautical glamour and enduring appeal of the globally renowned Turkish summer destination, Bodrum. Taking nods from the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, the warm summer breeze, and life on the ocean, the new collection is named ‘Mediterranean Summer Breeze by Les Benjamins’. It includes an earthy colour palette and bohemian designs spanning swimwear and resort wear.  

Known as the Turkish Riviera, Bodrum is now a global summer destination, pulling the world’s stylish and creative crowd each year, and the Les Benjamins collection embodies the inimitable Bodrum vibe. Comprising womenswear, menswear and swimwear, the new collection champions the rich colours of Bodrum: the blues of the ocean, browns of the mountains, green of the pine forests, oranges of citrus groves, pink Aegean sunsets and eternal yellow sunshine. Bold colours and nature-inspired prints feature throughout, an ode to Bodrum’s famous pine, olive and orange trees, along with Sargı Nakış embroidery, and tassel designs – synonymous with Bodrum’s Seventies roots. 

Womenswear is designed with versatility in mind, taking wearers from the beach and boat to lunch, dinner, drinks, and beyond. It features a flattering edit of slinky gowns and midi skirts, summer dresses, floating pants, beach cover-ups, and more playful mini shorts and skirts with cropped tops. Key pieces include a halter-neck maxi dress with a matching skirt and palazzo pants in earthy grey and brown, a striking floral-print dress with a cut-out waist and sweeping skirt, and an elegant black two-piece with a bra-top and sarong. Swimwear comprises single-colour and patterned two-pieces and creative one-pieces with low-cut backs in colourful prints inspired by Bodrum sunsets and Turkish embroidery.  

Les Benjamins’ signature elevated streetwear is the backbone of the men’s collection. Designed to cover all summer bases, the collection comprises both long and short-sleeved shirts, trousers, shorts, t-shirts, co-ords, and a variety of lengths of swimming trunks. Hero pieces include a slick black matching open-button shirt and trousers, a relaxed, yet elevated, short and shirt two-piece with intricate detailing and vibrant shirt-short co-ords in nautical and floral prints. Les Benjamins’ devotees will appreciate the brand’s signature printed T-shirts, soft and versatile fabrics and details inspired by Turkish Sargı Nakış.

Mediterranean Summer Breeze by Les Benjamins is available at Les Benjamins online store and Les Benjamins stores.
