The afternoon was filled with excitement, celebrations and all things fashion led, by the young Bollywood favourite Kartik Aaryan, who gave a walk-through of the latest collection, handpicking his favorite styles from the men’s section. Sharing his excitement on Benetton’s 25 years in India and being a part of this new launch, Kartik said, “Firstly, I would like to congratulate Benetton India on completing 25 glorious years in India. Benetton has been one of my favorite brands since my growing up years and I am thrilled to be a part of this launch celebration in Dehradun.

The store will showcase the chic, contemporary and playful sillhoettes of Spring-Summer across categories for men, women and kids. The latest collection encapsulates the sense of style and celebrates the history of Italian craftmanship. With a colour palette of summer, shades of bordeaux reds & oxide yellows stand out as the kick-off colours for the season, moving through to tonal inky blues and pops of water-colour blue hues as the months warm up. Summer white and pastels take a new approach to occasion-wear mid-season, while buttercup yellow, tropical blue and neon shades dominate high summer.
