Inspired by the ideas and attitudes of a group of young dissident intellectuals called’The Young Turks’, Bunyamin Aydin decided one day to found his own brand,’The Benjamins’, in the heart of the effervescent Istanbul. Some 250 points of sale later (last week), he took advantage of man fashion show week to launch his magazine NEAR EAST, present his collection and varnish the works of Turkish artist Majed Aslam. Three birds with one Ottoman stone.
