Autumn/Winter 2020

This collection, inspired by the history of Shanna’s grandparents who journeyed to the UK during the 1960s Windrush movement, celebrates the "Femme du Monde" and challenges the conventional archetype of the Jamaican woman in contemporary culture. It reflects the modern woman's global influences, paying homage to Jamaica’s motto, "Out of many, one people," which signifies the island’s rich heritage.

The AW20 collection embraces the legacy and impact of the Windrush generation, incorporating clean lines and tailoring that echo the timeless working-class ethos of "putting your best foot forward" for progress and acceptance. Jamaican currency and metalwork are thoughtfully integrated into the garments, grounding the designs in their cultural roots.

Focused on empowerment and endurance, this collection is crafted for the modern working woman, highlighting her most powerful qualities. With precise wools, dynamic shapes, and expertly cut drapery, Maison Bent’s tailoring creates a narrative that blends the fast-paced modern world with the earnest spirit of the early 1960s.
