I remember Benetton used to have lots of contriversial posters in the 1990s, Smith & Jones did a good spoof of a photoshoot for one.

Was that the united colours of Ben Elton? Or was that done by someone else ?

Re: 90's clothes

I don't know if any other members can recall Benneton? In the area I lived in the 90s - Benneton was a mega massive brand. If I recall right, they were quite flamboyant in their ideas like the Sweater Shop but not quite as over the top with colours that did'nt match like the Sweater Shop and they were a lot dearer I thought/seem to recall too. It's a shame now, I wish i'd owned at least 1 item of Benneton Clothing, it was really cool and defenitly deserves to now be termed Retro easily no question's asked I feel/reckon

I had a pair of lime green Benetton trousers. I could cringe when I think of the colour now but at the time I loved them. I wore them with a lime green/turquoise striped vest top from Dorothy Perkins. Apparently Benetton are still going.

Re: 90's clothes

And for the girls...scrunchies in your hair. I had so many. There's a school photo of me circa 1990 wearing a big red one. Horrendous!

Re: 90's clothes

Naf Naf was designed by Christian Audeiger around that time before he went and did is own thing. the Naf naf goose down Jacket and Gillet was very popular with ravers and the hip hop scene. also things like chippe baggy's, fila trailblazer, TROOP, SPX,BK's & Travel fox could not get enough of this classic wear. four star general and aflecks palace were the places to be shopping.

Yeah a few used to try to wear the NafNaf Trakkies at the School where I went to.

Re: 90's clothes

Each era is characterised by a more or less distinctive style. I mean '70s and even '80s styles are instantly recognisable but I've read numerous articles that seem to bemoan the fact that styles have not appreciably changed in the last twenty years like it has in previous decades -- 1992 is practically indistinguishable from 2012. Though I must say that I'm glad that I don't see those baggy "clown pants" of the early '90s, as I called them, quite as much anymore.

It was all about the LA Gear trainers for me.

Re: 90's clothes

Indeed. Chris Evans and Jarvis Cocker took NHS specs to great heights.

That's just what I was getting at.

Pulp didn't only soak up 1970's clothing fashions, the inner cover to a different class had a 1970's wallpaper design, & they namecheck woodchip in Disco 2000.
