FW25 Altaicana
The awakening of the Altai comes alive in the heart of Istanbul.
FW25 Altaicana draws on ancient bonds with nature and the mythological echoes that have inspired cultures for centuries. The rhythm of the Altai nomads, ancestral narratives, and the shared roots of Turkic, Mongolic, Korean, and Japanese traditions converge through a contemporary lens. Guided by the belief that “nature is not an inheritance from our ancestors, but a loan from our children,” the collection frames heritage as a path toward the future.
Altaicana does not simply revisit the past; it rewrites it. Americana’s raw edge merges with nomadic heritage, while symbols like the Tree of Life, petroglyphs, snow leopards, and abstract traces of nature create a modern mythology. Layered textures, structured silhouettes, and handcraft-inspired details push the Les Benjamins design code forward.
This collection is not merely worn; it is lived, felt, and told. Altaicana stands as a manifesto—transforming the whispers of the past into the energy of today and dreaming fearlessly beyond borders.
