Benetton is a brand which has always been close to my heart. I remember my wardrobe spilling over with Benetton tees and dresses, from my shopping days with mum! It is a brand that a generation has grown up wearing and connects with, not only within the realm of fashion, but for its path-breaking socially relevant campaigns over the years. Their socially relevant campaigns have had a deep and lasting impact on me through my growing yearsâ€Â
