Italian fashion powerhouse, United Colors of Benetton, has made a dazzling debut in Singapore with the soft launch of its flagship store at 313@Somerset in December 2023. Nestled on Level 2, #02-43, this stylish haven spans 1,318 sq ft and promises a fashion experience that’s as diverse and vibrant as the brand itself.
A Symphony of Style
United Colors of Benetton is more than just a fashion brand; it’s a lifestyle that resonates with cosmopolitan spirits embracing democratic smart looks expressed through knitwear, color, and stripes. The garments, reflecting Benetton’s commitment to diversity, are fluid, fun, and designed to empower everyone to embrace their authentic selves.
Fashionable Spaces
The flagship store at 313@Somerset is a fashion haven, showcasing both apparel and accessories across its expansive 1,318 sq ft space. Additionally, a chic 548-square-foot pop-up store at Takashimaya’s Men’s Department (Level 3) adds an extra touch of glamour. For the tech-savvy fashionistas, Benetton’s collections are also available online through official e-stores on Lazada and Zalora.
Andrea Incontri: A Maestro of Style
Guiding the brand’s creative direction for Women’s, Men’s, and Children’s collections is Andrea Incontri, an architecture graduate and fashion visionary. With a background that includes launching his eponymous fashion label and serving as the creative director of Italian luxury group Tod’s, Incontri brings a unique perspective rooted in what he calls “a formal subtraction” to Benetton, reflecting the complexities of today’s world.
