Les Benjamins’ Fall/Winter 2024 ‘Eastern Punk’ collection redefines boundaries with an unapologetic spirit. In an editorial special for 4241° North Magazine, the editorial unpacks the bold collision of history and rebellion that defines Eastern Punk. This season, the brand reimagines punk’s anarchic energy through the lens of Turkish heritage, weaving ornate patterns and ancient storytelling into the fabric of modern defiance.

Shot on medium-format film, the campaign is a visual manifesto of contrasts. Photographers Mann and Galbi ventured deep into the industrial expanse of DMX Dubai, an unexpected gem in the UAE, where the raw, urban backdrop amplified the collection's audacious spirit. The cinematic quality of film adds a tactile richness to each frame, balancing punk’s gritty edge with the elegance of cultural legacy.

The editorial breathes authenticity, thanks in part to the presence of local icons like Michael, a DMX rider whose bold persona embodies the ethos of ‘Eastern Punk’. From the intricate detailing of the designs to the untamed energy of the shoot, Les Benjamins once again proves its mastery of storytelling, fusing tradition with rebellion in a way that feels entirely authentic.
