Units, Multiples, and Ultra Brights - Oh My!

If you're a Gen X woman chances are you owned something by fashion designer Sandra Garratt in the '80s. Her UNITS brand (launched in 1979) and Multiples line (launched 1989) were wildly successful - and inspired many knock-offs. 

Units grew in popularity throughout the '80s - this ad was probably from the late '80s. 

Au Coton (launched in 1982) made their mark with their oversized pastel line and iconic logo.

After her legal woes with UNITS, Sandra Garratt launched a second line called Multiples that sold in high end department stores and targeted a more sophisticated audience.
