Pitti Uomo 77 Special n.1: Umit Benan’s Retired Rockers
Umit Benan, fashion designer of Turkish origins, was the winner of the last edition of Who Is On Next and one of the special guests of this edition of Pitti Uomo.
To present his latest menswear collection he performed a fashion show ideally going on in 1979: a luxurious and decadent banquet starring retired rockers (the theme of the collection) and young models.
Suzy Menkes said about Umit’s style: “Surfaces that appear to be rough, giving a hint of street wear, actually shield the soft underside of a duffel coat or a cashmere and wool cardigan. Showing the pieces mixed casually with jeans or a washed cotton short, or more formally with dressy clothes, Benan has captured, in humble proportions and thoughtful mixes, the spirit of the post-show-off era”.
