The monochrome aesthetic that Benjamin Bertram has endorsed throughout his SS14 collection flows in sync with current and forthcoming fashion forecasting. However, his garments offer variety- fitted garments cling to the body as if painted on, accentuating manliness and the human form. Quite contrastingly, other garments included in the collection are draped from the figure as if to mask this sense of masculinity and hide any suggestion of a muscular torso, leaving more to the imagination, perhaps.
The range blends gender boundaries in a non-mocking manner, proving that it is okay for a man to wear a skirt if he teams it with the perfect top. Shorts, vests, turtle neck two tone bomber jackets and buttonless blazers are all vital elements that help to form the collection and promote it as one brand identity. An identity so striking and fearless, that it does not care for the judgement of others. Benjamin Bertram designs to his beauty ideals and, quite honestly, makes us envious of his artistic/fashion ability.
