MAYFAIR is dedicated to showcasing all of what Huddersfield has to offer in terms of its' creative talent. Therefore we can't help but want to big up Benaiah Matheson. The guy has a somewhat insatiable apetite for all things slamming, slick and that bit different. Benaiah's talent in turning art into wearable graphic design means that he has no limits. He has applied his designs to many types of clothing, truly making wearable art and at MAYFAIR we commend that with a well deserved quote; "One should either be a work of art or wear a work of art", Oscar Wilde.
My work is an organic, pure reflection of me and the issues that are closest to my heart. As the world can be abstract, so is my art but with a core sense of aesthetics. The subtle balance of colour, line-weight and complexity in a particular space is always of the up most importance.
Benaiah Matheson studied Graphic Arts at Liverpool and is currently studying Fashion at our beloved - and occasionally loathed: loathing subject to an individual's exam time - Huddersfield University WAYHEY. Benaiah's inspiration stems from a multitude of sources. Firstly, as expected, he has a passion for fashion and a particular love of trainers - his personal collection is vast and far reaching - he highly acclaims Dover Street Market in London and his influences tend to skirt around RnB and Hip Hop. Twinning these influences with his organic, urban, decorative illustrations, gives Benaiah's designs a moreover effortless unique depth in comparison to other street style designs: he has the know how to create laid back, urban cool, with a throw back to ethnic roots. RESPECT.
Benaiah currently occupies himself with selling his 'Hud Uni' hoodies - MAYFAIR has dubbed these 'Huddies', cute but cool printed baby grows designed for his upcoming 'Bambino Bambina' baby range as well as putting on various R&B club nights whilst in Liverpool, he has also shown his African / Street style designs at No Frills fashion show.
