THE CLASH STORY
CL[Cleveland]ASH[Nashville]
C L A S H was born after numerous trips to Nashville (what feels like my second home) where the effortless yet edgy southern fashion, warm and friendly locals and gorgeous atmosphere were unlike anything I had experienced before. Sharing memories and stories from my Nashville trips with friends and family became a regular occurrence, until it dawned on me that I could bring a taste of Nashville back home to Cleveland so that others could enjoy just a piece of what Nashville has to offer. With my hometown roots of Cleveland and my heart's connection to Nashville, C L A S H was imagined and made a reality.THE FOUNDER
My name is Leann Benich - I'm the founder and owner of Cleveland based online vintage boutique, C L A S H! My love for vintage and secondhand clothing was rooted in my upbringing from a young age. I didn't always have much growing up as a homeschooled middle child of four, so I learned to get creative. This creativity led me to pursue thrifting where I would enjoy creating outfits and playing dress up, which eventually led me to styling, photographing and editing photographs of my friends wearing all the clothes I had collected thrifting. This carried out into my adult life where I became a professional wedding and fashion photographer for over ten years. Through the years my photography, fashion experience and personal style evolved and I made the exciting endeavor to go back to my first love - fashion.
