A group of prominent Iranian government officials are fuming over the presence of Italian clothing retailer Benetton in the nation, saying its fashions are a bad influence on female consumers.

Several Benetton stores have been opened in Iran in recent years.There are now  four stores in the capital, two in Iran’s second city of Mashhad, and one in the central town of Yazd. The retailer sales mainly selling its casual line of products for men, women and children — not the outer garments women have to wear on the streets in Iran.

“The two shops that I have seen did not use Farsi inscriptions and all signs were in English, this must be prevented in line with the law,” the newspaper quoted him as saying.

Protests against Benetton come along with a crackdown by Iranian police on dress deemed to be un-Islamic, which has already seen warnings handed out to over 100,000 women.

“The MPs on Sunday made a warning about preventing the influence of the Benetton investor in fashion and women’s clothing design,” a newspaper said.
