British clothing brand, Bench is launching two new collections – The Life Collection and The Performance Collection for women and men, respectively. The Life Collection focuses on style while the Performance range takes a more sportswear approach.
New technology and fabrics like water-repellent finishes on cotton are being used on both the ranges. Nick Barber, head of design for men at Bench said, “Additional features like light reflectivity, multi-pocketing and inner details have been specifically designed to meet the needs of contemporary city dwellers always on the go.” The number of pieces in each collection has been reduced but the pricing has increased as a result of the consumption of higher quality fabrics.
