Umit Benan<\/a> channels the styles of “Retired Rockers” as inspiration for his Autumn\/Winter 2010 collection. Some of the looks are reminiscent of bands like the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springstein. Put that image in your head and envision them all having a jam session. This is the mood Umit Benan is trying to convey. While the folks modeling the clothes are of age, its their style that will always live on, just like the music of Rock N’ Roll. <\/p>\n

UMIT BENAN
\nAutumn\/Winter 2010\/11
\nRETIRED ROCKERS
\nThe Retired Rockers inspiring the F\/W 2010-2011 collection are a group of musicians who made music history in the 1970s and \u201880s, once young and wild kids with no direction beyond rousing an entire generation to a blaring rock beat.<\/p>\n

Umit Benan presents his vision of these old rockers \u2013 his rockers \u2013 imagining a rock band \u00e0 la Rolling Stones that gets together with a few old buddies such as Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen and with producer Ahmet Ertegun (the man who discovered them and who, not coincidentally, shares the designer\u2019s Turkish roots).<\/p>\n

These rockers have had, experienced, exceeded the limits with everything: women, money, drugs. They\u2019ve written songs part of music history. Still pals after all this time, now more than 30 years down the road they meet each month at the same old East Village club. They\u2019re retired, they\u2019re on in years, but have never felt better. All they care about is enjoying life, hanging out and relaxing together, sitting at the usual table at Joe\u2019s Bar, maybe talking about old times. And so they exude a unique charm, the irresistible allure of transgressive, innately free-spirited men who have always lived on totally independent terms.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re in great shape, look cooler and hipper than when they were thirty. They don\u2019t need skinny leather pants to still feel young, for they have a rock attitude that depends on who they are, not on what they wear.<\/p>\n

No differently from their approach to life, their style is relaxed, free & easy and definitely classy.<\/p>\n
