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.

United Colors of Benetton Spring Summer 2007 Collections : GlobalGiants.com
WOMEN’S COLLECTION
"Light. On second thoughts, ultra-light.
This adjective best defines the UCB Women collection for the next Spring Summer season. It’s a question of fabrics and weights. Obviously. But also, and perhaps above all, of content and style, because lightness and freshness is the way of life the collection exudes. Severity with grace, fuss-free glamour, trendy without exaggeration, natural elegance."
MEN’S COLLECTION
"An irresistible radical chic charmer. This is the United Colors of Benetton man next summer: full of charisma and sophistication, obvious elegance and apparent informality. A mixture for discerning souls who shun banality. Style and mood write the plot for such sophistication, while fabrics, yarns, details and combinations form the soundtrack of this undeniable glamour."
CHILDREN’S COLLECTION
"A perfect expression of the Benetton spirit, the Kid collection for S-S 2007 is all about natural, spontaneous shabby chic. Yet everything was constructed, studied and made with the utmost care, precision and richness. The ranges – seven each for boys and girls – reflect a wide variety of influences, moods and genres from various latitudes. There is an overall light, modern feel symbolic of this worldwide brand."

In addition to her successful modeling career, that has landed her on the pages of Maxim, Playboy, Sync and Marie Claire, to name a few, Adrianne is a bona fide television star with television credits that include some of the most successful reality TV shows including the CW's America's Next Top Model, VH1's hit series "The Surreal Life" and "My Fair Brady," amongst numerous other stints in television and film.
