ประวัติศาสตร์แฟชั่น
Founded in 1965 in Ponzano Veneto, Italy, by the Benetton siblings, the company initially specialized in colorful wool sweaters. It gained significant cultural prominence during the 1980s and 1990s through its 'All the Colors of the World' campaign. Under photographer Oliviero Toscani, the brand utilized provocative imagery to address global social issues, including HIV/AIDS, racism, and war. This approach integrated political discourse into commercial fashion, marking a distinct shift in historical advertising practices.
