1984
The Orwellian Hair Gel

As 1984 arrived, French media indulged in Orwell-themed retrospectives.

Jed created a hair gel ad where Big Brother had perfect fringe control. It was banned for being ‘ideologically muddled and alarmingly shiny’. Jed sold the concept to a nightclub in Marseille.

Mmm... did that actually happen?

Tell us about something that did:-)

Jed shot an iconic commercial for Ramazzotti in Milan. "Milano da bere" is still talked about these days. I am sure we drank a fair bit of the product during and after the shoot!

Nicki tells of beermats at the bar in Catanzaro where she worked in 1984… "Ottimista? Rammazzoti mista!"

Or add more detail about 1984 — what happened exactly?
