Travels, source of fantasy
For the collection he has created, in collaboration with the brand Resource – 32 colors have been specially created by Resource for this collection – Serge Bensimon found his inspiration in South America, over his discoveries and encounters. The designer loves to discover and share his idea of aesthetics and tells us: “I’m often traveling, I look elsewhere to feed my imagination. Travelling causes the clash of cultures, it cleans the eye, and one multiplies meetings. Stéphane, my architect, and I went to Mexico hands in pockets, and all the doors opened up. including the famous Barragán houses we all visited.”
The Bensimon style
The origins of Bensimon go back over 60 years. Importer of American clothing, the Bensimon brand was born from an original idea: customize clothes from military surplus. Serge and Yves Bensimon then travel stocks worldwide and notice a stock of white tennis: they had the idea to dye them.
The Bensimon line was born. In 1984, the Bensimon Collection was established. The simplicity of shapes, the correctness of cuts make the success of the brand that became recognised over the years as a way of life with authentic natural materials. The Bensimon line consists of basic, timeless styles revisited, a colorful and bright style.
Bensimon, more than a brand
The Bensimon brand has diversified its activity od ready-to-wear with decorative items, linens and furniture and a range for teenagers entitled “B.Team” and a men’s collection, “Surplus Bensimon”, created in 2006, and a perfume. Nowadays, Bensimon has forty outlets and regularly collaborates with other companies like Virgin Mega Store for marketing a mobile phone in 2009 or Monoprix and La Redoute for clothing and the footwear distributor Eram.
The founder Serge has an art gallery, the Gallery S. Bensimon in Paris.
