United Colors of Benetton's S/S 09 collection sizzles at Dubai Mall Catwalk Show

The Benetton fashion shows, staged on the mall's newly launched hi-tech catwalk, were an opportunity for shoppers to preview the latest clothes to grace the store's rails.

Womenswear

Bold block colors, acid brights, and nautical stripes ensure any seaside visit this season will be steeped in style. For the office, Benetton's tailored pinstripe waistcoat teamed with cropped trousers and puff sleeve shirt is sure to impress. Benetton's casual collection for women includes distressed denims, jersey wrap cardigans and casual tees.

Menswear

For formal occasions, try Benetton's three piece tailored suit in charcoal grey teamed with buckle boots for a rebel take on the classic look. Preppy white trousers combined with a pinstripe shirt and deck shoes are ideal for a days sailing on the coast, while the bright Hawaiian print shirt and check board-shorts are a must for a day on the beach.

Kidswear

Candy stripes, pastels and neons are the latest trends for young fashionistas. Benetton's babydoll dresses, cropped shorts and rock-star tees will provide the perfect attire for kids this summer break.

The United Colors of Benetton Summer 09 collection will be available from 1 June at stores in Deira City Centre, Mall of the Emirates and The Dubai Mall.
