Bench sets a dark mood this Autumn
2009.10.06
British born label Bench, launches its 09W2 injection range at the end of October. The collection, which they have described as, “the brands shadow, an alter ego”, is far removed from the t-shirts inspired by the BMX and skate boarding world in the late 80’s. The mainly monochrome, black and white collection is interspersed with subtle hints of colour and consist of printed jersey tops, dresses, slouchy knits, leggings and trousers.
A hard edge look dominates the jersey tops, with their music inspired tour graphics showing the more rebellious side of Bench! Where as softer print graphics are on display with their dresses; shoulders are exposed and the slinky materials with distressed prints add a touch of glamour.
“This range aspires to inspire those screaming out for change and individualism. Bold statements can be interpreted through graphics and designs and this is what she wants, not to be taken too seriously but to remain feminine with a certain style of aggresiveness.”
The collection will be launching at the end of October and will be sold in all ten UK Bench stores and online. Prices range from £15 for t-shirts, dress start at £25, Knits £40 and leggings/bottoms at £16.
