PLAYLIFE" MEN’S AND WOMEN’S COLLECTIONS SPRING/SUMMER 2007 : GlobalGiants.com
Dressing casually is an art. This is Playlife’s opinion and for the upcoming spring/summer season the brand modifies the codes of a fashion genre entrenched in habit. Everything evolves and absorbs a real fashion glamour easily noticed by those with an eye for detail.
Boston. Elite sophistication, like the city that gives its name to the range. A unique blend of proportions, details and colours, creating good taste. Striped polo shirts, fluid trousers, simple little jackets, Bermuda shorts with or without turn-ups, washed sweatshirts sewn like knits.
She, in classic spring colours – white, grey, pink, pale and dark blue – updates a college look with badges, numbers and embroidered scrolls, lace and sequinned script motifs, silver details, edging, bonded materials and floral fabric or hand embroidery for rear-collar panels and linings.
He, delicately scented with cloud eau-de-cologne and with a gentlemen’s-club allure, adds beige to her palette and although he uses embroidered details, aristocratic prints and floral scrolls he never loses his masculinity; indeed, he acquires even more charm.
Miami. For a fantastic summer, on permanent holiday or for weekend breaks. It’s the time for sand, sun-yellow, sunset pink and orange, ocean blue and hazelnut, like a good tan.
For her, army-style shirt-jackets, fine-striped polo shirts with a white or plain-coloured collar and an embroidered logo on the rear collar, buttoned tops embroidered down the side, lace-trimmed sweaters worn over shorts, Bermudas and pedal-pushers with floral belt loops and bandannas.
For him – setting off a perfect physique – close-fitting, carefully crumpled light shirts over Bermuda shorts with a moderate number of pockets, short army jackets with floral buttons and bronze studs, gold-printed T-shirts and sweatshirts with discreet, very chic appliqués and embroidery.

"In developing the all-new V70 we aimed to produce the safest car in its segment," says Ingrid Skogsmo, Director of Volvo Cars Safety Center.
To improve safety for children in the rear seat of the all-new V70 model, Volvo has further developed the Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) with a stronger body structure, extended inflatable curtains, and a world's-first height-adjustable integrated child booster cushion. [GlobalGiants.com]
