Bensoni

Benjamin Channing Clyburn and Sonia Yoon's brand Bensoni embodies the designers' distinct yet cohesive style with an exquisitely tailored look at femininity. Clyburn and Yoon's strength lies in their unexpected mix of fabrications and unusual sources of inspiration. Finding its way into the design elements of the pieces without a literal marriage of the idea.

Ben and Sonia met while studying at Parson School of Design. Upon discovering their shared aesthetic, the duo collaborated on their senior thesis project which garnered significant attention from the press and earned them a nomination for Parson's prestigious "Designer of the year" award. Collectively, they apprenticed at Donna Karan, Brioni, Giorgio Armani and the GAP before launching Bensoni in 2007.
