Delightfully glamorous with minimalist passions. This is the United Colors of Benetton woman for spring-summer in a collection of carefully-studied elegance which is deceptively simple.

The latest collection offers 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.

In ladieswear you will find three distinct selections:

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 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 and textured linens and cotton together with sheer silks in palest pastels just a shade away from white.

Energy cosmic

Strong colours and 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.

United Colors of Benetton is one of the world's best known brands and has an international style that combines color, energy and practicality.

The womenswear, menswear, and childrenswear collections offer a total look for everyday, for work and for leisure.

The brand is broadening its horizons, expanding into new areas of merchandise including perfumes, a home collection, baby products and the exclusive eyewear line Dress Your Face!
