A Kaleidoscope of Colour and meticulous attention to detail: The
United Colors of Benetton Spring 2016 collection displays a renewed
interest in the quality of fabrics and yarns and 100% Italian style.
Enjoy spring!
WOMEN
BLACK, WHITE & ORANGE
This punchy colour combination was prevalent on the international
catwalks for spring and can be seen throughout the new United
Colors Of Benetton collection. Key pieces include a must-have white
and orange jacquard knit sheath dress with exquisitely clean lines,
kimono-style shirts, A-line skirts, high waisted tailored trousers and
fluid palazzos. The bomber jacket also makes an appearance with a
knitted version featuring this season and is the ideal piece for
dressing a look up or down. Accessories include colourful panamas,
maxi scarves or light cotton viscose pashminas, sporty laser detail
totes and bijoux bags featuring beaded flower embellishment.
FLUID MOTION
It is ever more vital for women to find the perfect wardrobe
‘formula’; hero pieces that go hand in hand with their lifestyle with
ease and be interchangeable. Every season United Colors of
Benetton interprets and builds on this winning concept, in this case
taking an evergreen striped sweatshirt with chiffon detail, fluid
trouser suit and a dusty blue Oxford shirt that is softened with a
pussy bow neck. Boxy ¾ sleeve tops and classic men’s shirts are
offered a similar treatment with bead embroidered collars while a
versatile satin trench coat dress, fastened with a martingale halfbelt
can be dressed up or down accordingly. This is fashion at its
most fluid, where masculine silhouettes are softened by ad hoc
seams, embellishment and refined fabrics such as viscose, fine
wools and brushed cashmere in a colour palette featuring the softest
powder blue, periwinkle and acid lime.
DELICATE & CHIC
Directly from United Colors of Benetton’s DNA comes a fashion
mood that unites dynamism and color. Sophisticated knits appear in
fine fabrics such as jersey, lace, viscose, tulle, cotton and lurex
blends, all used in unusual ways to create loose, flowing silhouettes
enlivened by strong colors such as bronze, burnt sienna, ochre and
teal. Particularly eye-catching are a honeycomb knit and dusty
yellow cocoon worn over a brushstroke print tee paired with a bright
coral crackle pleat skirt in exclusive waxed jersey. Completing this
mood is soft knitwear in chainstitch, dresses with kimono sleeves,
back-opening lace blouses, and tailored trousers, not just skinny but
also with balloon-effect pleats. Little openwork pullovers in a teal
cotton/high-tech yarn blend are paired with boxy satin jackets and
on trend high-waisted flares in burnt umber. Eye catching costume
jewellery and ankle-strap suede sandals finish the look.
INDIGO DREAM
This season, United Colors of Benetton takes a youthful trip through
denim in its many shades and forms; from faded to deep indigo,
playing with a palette of colors that are sometimes warm or tinged
with an acidic lime green, key every day pieces are fashioned in this
most versatile of fabrics. The must-have mandarin collar jacket in
treated denim is paired with colour block sweaters and a lime yellow
flared skirt. Open weave cotton shirts can be worn with flared jeans
and embroidered platform sandals to offer a nod to the new
bohemian mood. Colour pops of red, orange, fuchsia and yellow
make an appearance.
ETHNIC ATTITUDE
Today’s folk style is a feminine mix of exquisite knit patterns, strong
colors, decorations, prints, jacquard and embroidery. A flared knit
reefer jacket in an all over jacquard design paired with print cotton
muslin blouses and seamless circle skirts. Ethnic influences feature
on tunics, big shirts and jacquard print dresses while embroidered
crepe cotton shirts, high waist denim shorts, macramé and fringed
pieces evoke the effortless and youthful style of Malibu and Ibiza.
Accessories include suede fringed totes and folk inspired shoppers
which make for the ideal travelling companions.
COVER GIRL
This is a signature look for the brand: slogan sweatshirts, slub
vests, openwork cardigans and check shirts underpin a collection
that’s youthful, versatile and understated. Cotton hoodies, low
slung track pants and dobby cotton skater skirts are feminine yet
offer just enough androgyny to keep the look contemporary.
STYLIST SPORT
The trend is clear: sportswear has crossed over into everyday casual
wear. United Colors of Benetton launches its “athletic” yet urban
fashion range of stretch knit sweatshirts and jackets, basketball
vests, collegiate print sweaters, printed leggings and shorts in
vibrant shades of sky blue, orange and pink, to pair with more glam
touches such as the silver mini. Other must haves include superlight,
high-tech sneakers and wedge heeled sandals in edgy neon
colors.
Accessories in line with the sports luxe trend range from tablet
cases, mesh maxi bags and mini neoprene bucket bags to
drawstring rucksacks in suede-effect eco-leather.
