Overview

Surplus Bensimon is a fashion line derived from BENSIMON, which originated in France. In 1983, designer Serge Bensimon and Yves Bensimon developed the line, centering on a reinterpretation of military surplus, vintage clothing, and workwear. It offered apparel and accessories primarily for men. Serge was responsible for style, while Yves handled the commercial side. Its philosophy is to transform discarded clothing and objects to create new value. BENSIMON itself also carries DNA rooted in surplus and workwear.

Concept
