Munich. MINI sets trends.

Munich. MINI sets trends- this time with the slogan “Keep on Moving”, for the world is only a thought away and somewhere is always the right time for MINI and its new outfits. The designers have drawn more heavily than ever on the characteristic colours, contours and materials of the MINI for inspiration for their creations. Design aspects of the popular car have been incorporated into the products in the latest MINI collection, resulting in a sporty, self-confident and individual look for him and her - full of surprises and MINI through and through.

The Women’s Sweat Jacket (in white) and the Men’s Sweat Jacket (in dark blue) with ribbed collar, cuffs and waistband are as comfortable as the interior of a MINI. And for anyone who wants to get out: the MINI inside door handle is printed on the front zip pocket. Green seams on the arms, stand-up collar and cuffs of the Sweat Jacket create exciting colour contrasts.

Not only is the black “G7 Flags” T-shirt for men stylish, it also flies the flag in the shape of seven MINIs with the roof flags of the G7 states printed on the chest. The women’s “G7 Flags” is equally international, though it comes in a long-sleeved version in midnight blue. The motif of the car is on the back of this item.

This is how fashionable history can be: on the midnight blue women’s “GB Map” polo shirt the map of Great Britain with the Union Jack as a vintage motif recalls the MINI’s legendary past. The motif on the left arm of the sporty polo shirt will also apply in the future when “everybody goes MINI”. In the men’s version the same vintage motif is on the white “GB Map” T-shirt.

The Unisex Reversible Waistcoat is also the height of fashion. This is a reversible waistcoat that can be worn by both men and women. It has an MP3 pocket, side slit pocket, stand-up collar and an embroidered MINI logo. Depending on the wearer’s mood, it can be worn with either the black or the khaki side on the outside.

Fashion for her in the urban jungle
The khaki Canvas Jacket from the MINI Collection 2006 ensures that female MINI fans are stylishly dressed for the adventures of everyday life. This versatile jacket’s four large bulge pockets and built-in belt with metal clasp allow the wearer to create a good impression in any situation. The detailed design also features many refined touches, such as silver brass press studs and inner seams in contrasting lemon yellow.

Fancy fresh colours? The pleasingly light V-Neck-T-shirt in petrol catches the eye with its decorative stitching, v-neck and embroidered MINI logo in sunny lemon yellow. And for a more discreet look the feminine “MINI Car” T-shirt is available in white with decorative stitching in “chili red” and the “Astro Black” T-shirt in black.

MINI Collection 2006 - drive for stylish men
For men the MINI Collection 2006 presents a genuine classic: the khaki Blazer Casual, made from canvas, is a classic design with its three bulge pockets on the front of the item. The stylish cut, press-stud fastener and inner seams in contrasting colours add surprisingly trendy touches. An additional detail is the Union Jack motif on the inside of the jacket on the left.

The blazer goes best with the timeless “MINI Car” polo shirt in light blue or the “Classic” polo shirt in black with an embroidered MINI logo and the MINI as an extravagant canvas patch.

The “Astro Black” long-sleeved shirt takes its unique MINI hue with a gel print from the vehicle paintwork. “Chili red” on the inside of the sleeve cuffs adds a surprising splash of colour.
The Sleeveless Hoody with kangaroo pouch pocket is particularly racy. This is no surprise as the printed white bonnet stripes lend the dark blue shirt an authentic motor sport look.

The current MINI Collection 2006 is not just complemented by the new MINI eyewear models, for which cities such as Hamburg and Cape Town serve as inspiration. The black Fashion Cap is another must-have accessory.
Time plays a central role in the MINI Collection 2006. The lady is always up to date with the “Timezone Bracelet” watch (now also available in black for the first time). Two time zones in two separate displays ensure that the wearer never misses an appointment.

The current MINI Collection bags aren’t just intended for time travellers. Functional design and top-quality materials ensure comfort on business and leisure trips.
