Benetton

This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

You were in, if you wore Benetton! I think I had at least four Benetton jumpers - a colour for any occasion. Even more fashionable was a Benetton jumper with a black polo neck top underneath. Oh I was so fashionable in 1992!

Re: the Benetton advert with the newborn baby covered in blood. When I lived in Southampton there was a huge one of these posters by the road, and some wag had added the words 'I said NO chilli suace!!'. I thought that was HILARIOUS!

My friend and I used to wear matching Benetton sweatshirts. If we were lucky we could get into the kids clothing (which was cheaper) called 012 Benetton. The sweatshirts either had the little Benetton emblem on the breast or the benetton name and logo across the chest. We bought those sweatshirts in every colour. Nowadays Benetton stuff is really sought after - especially the rugby shirts that sell for a mint on ebay! I gave mine to a friend who is kindly looking after it and still wearing it 20 years on!

I'll never forget their poster advert featuring the newborn baby with cord still attached, and the uproar it caused!
