World's biggest fashion brand Benetton celebrated its 40th anniversary in style with a huge runway show in Paris' Pompidou Center and a gala dinner.
Most striking feature of the celebrations was that Benetton flew in a plane with loads of editors - everyone from Robert Verdi of New York to Kerstin Schneider of German Elle - packing out a giant custom made show space on the ground floor of Europe's most visited modern art museum.
In the family affair, Luciano, Giuliana, Gilberto and Carlo Benetton took a long stroll together down the runway to a standing ovation, a prolonged moment of cheering Benetton, with 5,000 stores in 120 countries.
Russian lovely Natasha Poly got to wear the best look with posh-punk jeans and furry sweater, ideal for intense clubbing.
The other actual clothes included Amsterdam rave party goers, Covent Garden punks and Copenhagen Christiania hippies - with bright-hued takes on Argyle sweaters, chunky cable knits, wedge platforms in orange and green, plastic coated warrior tanks, granddad leggings, Matrix jackets and fab Laplanders sweaters.
