It was all about geek chic in Karen Millen’s spectacle at Bench Fashion Week. The British brand commenced a European-inspired catwalk display taking a page from the effortlessly cool style of French girls—berets were the highlight of accessories, along with colored glasses that added a preppy flair. High shine is back for spring/summer and better than ever as they took form in studded mules, oxfords, and leather midi dresses. A change of pace was lead by fluid, minimalist pieces in heritage prints—showcasing the classic aesthetic of Britain that the brand has initially been known for.  photos by Floyd Jhocson of Studio 100 and Macky Arquilla
