Geek Chic by Chris Benz
I love to see relatively new designers shine and Chris Benz has provided me with one of my favourite shows of fashion week. Quirky, laid back and cool, Monsieur Benz epitomises all that I love about fashion. The “Geek Chic” element of his designs is what appeals to me the most. At heart I am a dweeb and Chris’ work legitimises this calling! I adore the unusual, almost “greasy” appeal of the hair; an untamed wildness, curbed only by the odd bobby pins. The odd mix of colours – mustards and turquoises, peaches and orange creams…mixed with oversized hats, serve only to exentuate the eccentricity that I love. See Chris Benz’ collection on Style.com.
