Meet BENZENE, Palestine's Newest Streetwear Brand
Rooted in Palestine, produced in Portugal, based in Barcelona.
If BENZENE isn’t already on your radar, it needs to be. Palestine’s newest streetwear brand, the rising label was created by Ahmad Zaghmouri, an artist, curator and record label founder, along with chef and restaurant owner Omar Radejko and former pharmacist Saif Milhem.
After reuniting in Paris, the group realized their shared vision and Benzene was born. Named after the combustion engine, the brand centers around ethical production and community, with a shared love of irony and humor at its core. Designed to “foster and amplify the voices around it,” the brand is rooted in Palestine, produced in Portugal and based in Barcelona.
The first official collection features a range of vibrant swimwear styles, printed T-shirts and tanks, along with denim outerwear, jeans and shorts all emblazoned with Benzene branding. Adding to the offering is a selection of accessories and underwear, complete with handkerchiefs, lighters and caps.
Take a look at the brand’s first collection above, captured in Marseille, Cairo and Napoli. Head to the BENZENE website for more information.
