"DANS LES PAS DE" BEN AHLERS, WHERE GESTURE MEETS VOICE

This is a long-form format. A format for authentic sounds, carrying within them a certain truth and a unique sense of connection. Naturally, Maison Berluti has chosen the podcast as the medium to tell the stories of the men who, at one point, crossed paths with the House on their own singular journeys.

Ben Ahlers could have been just another face shaped by Hollywood’s machine. Instead, he followed a quieter path. One rooted in simplicity and curiosity. He grew up in Iowa, far from the spotlight, in a town where people read the sky to understand the seasons. Theatre, at first, wasn’t a calling, just something he stumbled into, following his mother to rehearsals. He sang in Central Park as a teenager. At 28, he now stars in HBO’s The Gilded Age, a richly layered portrait of ambition, tradition and social change in 19th-century New York.

But the role only hints at the man. In this episode of “Dans les pas de”, Ben opens up, calmly, candidly. He reflects on creativity, solitude, and the art of paying attention. Of his need for silence in the heart of New York, the city that never sleeps. On long walks through Brooklyn and the space they create for thought. On his love for music, writing, artists who dare to do more than one thing.

He also speaks about clothes, not as performance, but as extension. About the instinctive connection he felt with Berluti: a shared taste for precision, for meaning, for gesture. A quiet understanding between craftsmanship and self-expression.

Dans les pas de Ben Ahlers is not a story of arrival. It’s a conversation about becoming. About staying open, staying present, and embracing the beauty of not always knowing where the path will lead.
