Les Benjamins x Anuar Khalif

A Fusion of Fashion and Art

Les Benjamins has unveiled its latest collection, a collaboration with Moroccan artist Anuar Khalifi, blending fashion and art. This capsule collection, Les Benjamins x Anuar Khalifi, celebrates the diaspora and the global south through vibrant pieces that reflect the creators' shared heritage and friendship.

The collaboration features bold designs inspired by the diverse backgrounds of the two artists: Bunyamin Aydin, raised between Neuss and Istanbul, and Anuar Khalifi, between Tangier and Barcelona. The collection highlights their journey as immigrant children in Europe, emphasizing themes of self-identity and cultural heritage.

Pieces in the collection are imbued with color, iconography, and characters that merge traditional and contemporary influences. Khalifi’s signature work and iconography are prominent, offering a unique storytelling approach through heroes and antiheroes. His art explores 'spaces between places,' blending tangible and imaginary realms to create a distinct aesthetic.

Notable items include a symbolic uniform representing the nurturing and cultivation of beauty in art, and pieces featuring the *W.A.Y.F Logo, Khalifi's response to the question, “Where are you from?” This logo symbolizes the complex identities formed through migration and cultural blending.
