RUNWAY: Umit Benan SS16
American and Cuban relations have been frosty for decades thanks to an embargo by the former on the latter. However, the two nations have started to bridge the geopolitical gap.
Umit Benan senses the change and seemed to have been inspired by Cuban men, with a strong focus on their military-minded leaders like Fidel Castro. Meld that with a cool 50s vibe, a cigar here and there, tall, dark and handsome men and the collection was super chic, with separates like army-inspired shirts and great military-inspired tailored coats sure to be retail hits.
