Portfolio: Hotel Colourfornia by Chrystofer Benson and Greta Coston

“I was so happy during the entire making of this collaboration,” enthuses Benson. “To see everyone’s creative visions align in this complete work, from the makeup artist to the photographer ... it’s incredible.”

Photographed in Milan, Italy—an epicenter of world fashion—Chrystofer Benson Collective (CBC) founder Chrystofer Benson and CBC artistic lead director Greta Coston were inspired by the city’s highly stylish denizens and equally beautiful surroundings to conceive their latest collection, Hotel Colourfornia. Here, vibrant colored manes belong to the most sophisticated of women, and bold cuts belong to only the most discerning of dames. “We sought to evoke the feel of pure luxury in this shoot,” explains Benson, who is the artistic director for Matrix. “The models have a sense of refinement, but there’s a young edgy progression to them as well.”

“We wanted to evoke real strength in terms of the colors and cuts we chose to execute,” Benson explains of the myriad looks he presents.
