Umit Benan

I decided to look at Umit beans A/W15 collection. He looked at fishermen and in particular fisherman in the Bosporus in Istanbul. I really liked his collection because I thought it had a very strong sense of identity and a very vivd character and story. The mood was set very well, the street cast models fit the persona impeccably.

I find Umit Benana as a designer interesting because he used to want to be a filmmaker. I also once wanted to be a filmmaker so I understand his desire to create stories.

I am now going to google historical details of fishermen such as the sou'wester (the hat they wear) and the ganseys.
