Ben Sherman x House of Holland Embrace the Bold & Preppy for Spring 2019

Leave a reply

English menswear label Ben Sherman presented its second collection with House of Holland during London Fashion Week. Extending beyond the blend of classic silhouettes with the playful prints Holland is known for, the latest collection saw the colors go even louder. Bold stripes and warm tropical prints were present throughout the collection, which had a more conventional menswear vibe — a departure from the Britpop-inspired pieces shown earlier this year.

Ben Sherman also presented its main line, dubbed the King’s Road Ivy collection. Inspired by various styles of the 60s and 70s (think American collegiate meets British mod), the designer balanced a darker palette with blunt color blocking and mixed prints. The result was a rich display of the sharp tailoring and traditional silhouettes that one can expect from the label.

Clash of two seminal UK designers with the debut of Ben Sherman x House of Holland for Fall 18. The posh structure of Sherman was balanced with the bold use of prints and color ubiquitous with Henry Holland’s label. Men’s classic silhouettes — like knit sweaters, Britpop-esque track jackets that would seem at home in a Blur video, and a white puffy parka fit for skiing with rich people — were injected with contemporary flair and it-moment trends including embroidered patches and other embellishments, displaying a perfect marriage of influences.

Ben Sherman Buttons Up for Fall/Winter 2014

2 Replies


Video: Ben Sherman.

Though the subject of a seasonal campaign, for Fall/Winter 2014 the British rockers-turned-gentlemen behind Ben Sherman emphasize a single styling component that has truly become essential to the brand’s half-a-century old identity: the buttoning up to the top button of a man’s dress shirt. While this sartorial decision has been trending within the mainstream recently, with the resurgence of nostalgic dressing such as Odd Future (here’s Earl rocking the look), it has been a quintessential style choice for Ben Sherman since 1963. The FW14 campaign video above stars model Louis Simono depicting an array of outfits focused on the closed neck effect. An accompanying behind the scenes video delves into the history of Ben Sherman shirts, and the essential ‘Britishness’ of buttoning them to the top. The lesson of it all? You can forego the tie but don’t forget to #buttonup. Share a picture of yourself doing just that for a weekly chance to win a Ben Sherman shirt.

WATCH: Ben Sherman’s Short Film ‘Parachute’

4 Replies

 Video: Ben Sherman.

We grew up being told “the sky is the limit,” but with Ben Sherman‘s Parachute, an introspectively beautiful short that celebrates the brand’s latest Spring/Summer 2014 Collection, “Plectrum,” that is clearly not the case. Inspired by the drag and aerodynamic lift of parachutes that roam the sky, the collection uses the skeleton and internal structure of these vessels as well as their geometric prints and unconventional fabrics as a point of reference. What results is a series of light parkas, graphic sky-printed tees, and engineered shorts that are as striking in motion up in the air as they are simply just in the office.
