CHILDREN’S COLLECTIONS.
A wealth of ideas and creativity, the United Colors of Benetton collection for children faces up to a new winter season with convincing liveliness. The variety of themes stems from very different sources.
Girl
Just say Paris Chic and Benetton offers witty urban glamour with plaid capes in a pink shade, Bermuda shorts in velvet with white and red sprig patterns worn with pullovers with wide stripes and whimsical gilded details. University Club ambitions even for those still in primary school: it all hinges on tartan kilts, dark blue jeans and a great deal of bright colour for sweaters worn under corduroy blazers. Le Cirque des Fleurs is literally a flowery carousel for decorations, appliqués and pot pourri colours: ponchos and capes like flower heads and rouches like petals. A disco craze looms on the horizon in the Preppy Rock ideas where black, combined with pink and powder blue, plays with stripes, studs, miniskirts, leggings and rock queen embellishments. More flowers, this time in a romantic version, are worthy of the name Liberty, with all-over nineteenth-century bouquet prints in pastel shades on everything, from shirts to sheepskins, embroidered jeans to openwork cardigans. The ethnic references come close to the top of the world: Warm Nepal does not miss a detail and works on embroidery like precious multicoloured mandalas, with wide skirts in rouched velvet and soft, fringed knitwear in warm colours. European snow sparkles for Snowy Holidays: glimmering sheepskins and down-filled pieces, with silver and gold sequins on the tricot in buttery, coarse yarn in a Nordic style.
Boy
As in “where my yacht’s moored”, Portland sails among cabin boy stripes, captain’s blazers, lone sailor pullovers and prints dedicated to the world ports in a sea of chic. The model Bristol University student is only missing glasses yet has all the rest: the plaid wool duffel coat, the knitwear with diamond pattern, the Prince of Wales check trousers, the polo shirts and graduation velvet jacket. For boys of character, who dream of motorbikes yet ride bicycles, Metal Biker hints at races and circuits: padded blouson, slim jeans, denim biker jacket, embroidered shirts and laminated and studded decorations in soft shades due to the dust of the road. The warmer Nordic Way items are in the cold colours of water and ice; polar temperatures demand down-filled coats, handmade jacquard pullovers, velvet trousers and thick wool berets with a pom-pom. Ready to play are Downtown Streets and Color Camp, two themes that make casual their leitmotif: rugged garments with military and camouflage references, checked shirts and striped polos, trousers in denim and velvet and layering that is only apparently random.

MEN’S COLLECTIONS.
A slight change of direction is revealed in the new Autumn and Winter United Colors of Benetton men’s collection. The label presents a totally transformed man. The Benetton man absorbs the rules of dressing well, interpreting them according to his own taste. Formal without being cloyingly boring, casual with knowing sophistication, tastefully sporty and with clear ideas about style. He matures without ageing.
Rock Singer: entirely formalwear the look captures the mod style with pencil shapes. Dark and pinstriped suits, jackets and ties, short and slim coats, slim-fit polo shirts and somewhat old-style cardigans with diamond patterns creating a fascinating air of stagy elegance without the traditional rhinestones and lack of moderation suggested by the title.
Camden Town: A sophisticated look with a mixture of textiles. Knitwear in luxury yarn, with plays on stripes, diamonds and stylised flowers in black and ivory, or with coloured jacquard patterns, all over or bordering the necklines worn with shiny parkas and aviator blousons, country peacoats and trench coats. Conspicuous blazers in English wool, napped leather, reversed imitation sheepskin with sports-style, straight well-proportioned trousers.
Ice Hockey: Blue, white and red are the colours of a winter theme for leisure time. Layering transforms an outfit on the go throughout the day. Soft, tracksuit-cut trousers, woollen pullovers with hoods, which combine diamonds with stripes, jacquard stars with plain colours. Blousons jackets inspired by kit from the gym or boxing ring and long mountain jackets lined in jersey the whole look is mixed with dark blue denim.

WOMEN’S COLLECTIONS.
United Colors of Benetton predicts next winter will be "hot", but global warming is not a factor.
The warmth lies in the soft and comfortable fabrics; a frothy triumph of knit effects. The mood is that of the mountain chalet for the city. The colours are from the forest and the fireplace, whilst lines are soft & embracing, without clinging.
Working Chic: for the town and office. Short quilted outerwear and wool coats worn over feminine gored skirts, loose Bermuda shorts in various lengths, with baggy pullovers and blouses in masculine Oxford fabric or floral silk, all in restrained military tones.
Swedish Interiors: Daywear in neutral “gustavian” shades of creams, greys & ochre. The shape is A-line, with coats, capes and jackets in heavy weaves & substantial textures, and cable & plait knitted jumpers, skirts & coats. Trousers and skirts in masculine fabrics teamed with bow tie print t-shirts in lurex fabric.
New Grunge: An imaginative take on historical dress with bright colour combinations. Velvets, faux furs & leathers, mixed with chintz and worn with layered, baggy and embellished knitwear.
Fake Blacks: Inescapable and indispensable black is a must. Reinterpreted in technical, metallic and stretch fabrics Menswear classics are given a typical womenswear flirtiness. Sober coats, biker bomber jackets, high-waisted trousers and above –the- knee skirts worn with leggings.
