BENGT – 2012 IN PICTURES

31 December 2012

As 2012 is quickly drawing to a close we couldn’t help but to feel a tad nostalgic about the year that has passed. To remember and look back we put together a visual scrapbook of some of our memories and highlights. It’s been an exciting, intense, sometimes crazy, sometimes laugh-out-loud but most certainly eventful year for us at the BENGT team. We met so many great people, attended plenty of fashion shows & presentations and signed brilliant new designers. Our travels took us from London to Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam and New York. Along the way we have made lots of new friends. We worked really hard but it has been worth every moment of it!

So we would like to take this moment to raise our glasses and thank every single one of you who has shared this journey with us….

HAPPY NEW YEAR, BRING ON 2013!

Lots of love from Sereena, Sofie & Eva of BENGT xxx

Super excited by the fab BENGT write up in this issue of Time Out’s shopping section, where BENGT is hailed as the to-go-to for emerging fashion (which you devoted BENGT followers obviously already knew…). Louise Amstrup and Dominique Kral are also get big thumbs up for their distinctive and forward thinking style. So spread the word, it is official.

SIX HAS SPRUNG

27 March 2012

A fresh new issue of ethical fashion magazine SIX has just hit the news stands. A magazine that celebrates the designers, individuals and independent brands who are creating a more sustainable future for the fashion industry makes for a long list of BENGT designers making headlines.

Not surprisingly we find Louise Amstrup’s directional SS12 collection at the top of the fashion radar. The softness of the silk dresses is offset and made tough by the photographic collage prints inspired by New York and Scorsese’s cult film Taxi Driver. And speaking of prints, BENGT spring newcomer Malene Oddershede Bach‘s vibrant turqouise Cora dress equally makes a bold statement, marrying effortless flattering shapes with memorable and individual prints.

Emesha and their timeless tailored pieces is also no stranger to ethical fashion, championing not only to bring ‘slow’ fashion to the mainstream but fair wages in production factories. Finding your perfectly cut suit or shirt has never been as rewarding – both for your wardrobe and for your peace of mind.

For her quirky statement jewellery Kirsty Ward also gets a big heads up from the SIX fashion team. Ward’s eclectic yet beautiful pieces often constructed from coloured metal rings and rivets have become synonymous with her neo-tribal aesthetics and will not leave you unnoticed.

Moxham also never ceases to impress. Unexpectedly layered together, the nude Anubis and Flex necklaces as well as the Taba bracelet are given a sporty edge in this fashion feature lensed by up-and-coming photographer Martin Zahringer.

We already know that Imogen Belfield‘s jewellery is out of this world with hardwearing handmade designs that are both experimental and unique. Yet many of these appear like meteoric clusters from outer space, they at the same time somehow manage to be utterly romantic and incredibly stylish. This is one rising star, we can’t wait to see more from.

Last but not least Topi Tijani adds a bit of light hearted fun to the ethical fashion scene. With retro geometric patterns in poppy bright colours, Tijani’s sense of aesthetics blows a new joyful lease of life to the world of structured bags.
