Bennet Schlesinger is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. His practice blends functional craft and sculptural form. Raised on the coast of California, he owes his approach to tactile processes and timeless pieces to his uncle who shaped surfboards. An heirloom-first mindset that echoes through his personal style and his collaboration with AG x GQ.
We've been crafting premium denim since 2001, and partnered with Bennet to spotlight key pieces from our Fall collection, From Canvas To Cloth. With its rich, earthy tones and tactile fabrics, the collection mirrors Bennet’s own commitment to craftsmanship and thoughtful design — from beautifully constructed selvage denim to versatile button-ups and laid-back essentials. The result is a natural collaboration: AG’s timeless staples designed to last, brought to life by an artist whose work is equally rooted in durability, process, and style.

Here are two of Bennet’s go-to fall outfits, and how they were styled.
Look 1: Earthy & Easy for the Studio
Bennet is wearing the Curtis Work Shirt in Sulfur Raw Umber, Bryce Crew in True White, and Archie Pant in Sulfur Shady Moss.
Drawn from nature, these rich browns and greens ground the outfit in essential fall tones while blending comfort with style. Crafted from hand-soft Italian corduroy, the Curtis Work Shirt brings warmth, softness, and timeless structure with its fine wale texture, making it the perfect everyday layer. Worn over a crisp white tee and paired with leather boots, the look is finished with simple accessories like rings and necklace. Ideal for casual days, running errands, or meeting friends for coffee, it’s fall dressing at its most effortless.
Look 2: Classic & Rugged
Bennet is wearing the Huston Western Shirt in Charcoal Grey with the Protégé in 6 Years El Paso.
This combination gives off a classic American workwear feel — the structured Western shirt adds rugged character, while the subtly broken-in denim feels timeless and lived-in. For styling, leave it untucked and slightly open for casual ease. Finish the look with sturdy sneakers. Perfect for weekend adventures or casual dinners, this outfit channels heritage-inspired style with modern wearability.
