Fashion Flash!

The United Colors of Benetton women’s collection for spring-summer 2009 carries a carefully-studied elegance which is deceptively simple.

A collection of sophisticated colours, definitive moods, details that are never banal, styles that are carefully cut and constructed and always very now with a clear feeling for the latest trends.

CITY HARMONY – A relaxed formal: the urban wardrobe allows itself a few diversions. The suede trench and short leather jackets are worn with flowing linen trousers and wide pleated skirts. Casual trousers team up with shirts with a plastron, flounces and balloon sleeves. Short, gathered skirts combine lace and jersey. Plain or striped cotton or cashmere knitwear is ultra-light. The palette is neutral and pale, restful and soothing.

SOFTLY LIGHT – The look of Audrey Hepburn on ‘Roman Holiday’. Haute couture coats and little dresses from the fifties. Frilly little floral chiffon skirts. A-line short jackets and flowing knitted dresses. Textured linens and cotton together with sheer silks in palest pastels just a shade away from white.

ENERGY COSMIC – Strong colours – technical fabrics. Bright sunny stripes, ginghams or plain colours. Glazed or micro-sanded raincoats, cabans or windcheaters with casual soft lines. Comfortable shorts, Bermudas and pedal-pushers. All shades of denim given all kinds of treatment.

The United Colors of Benetton now has the trendy and comfortable Basic Dubai T-Shirts in their SS 09 collection.

The United Colors of Benetton SS09 Collection is available across Womenswear, Menswear, Kidswear and Accessories at the stores at the Deira City Centre, the Mall of the Emirates and Dubai Mall.
