The photographer and impresario Oliviero Toscani died earlier this month. Toscani was a co-creator of Colors magazine, a brazen, colourful, quarterly, published between 1991 and 2014 by Benetton, the Italian clothing brand.
I loved Colors, and always bought it when I came across it (which was rare, as it wasn’t widely distributed in the hinterlands). It was an enormous influence on my typographic and design sensibility, and only served to cultivate my naturally occurring contrarian nature.
Frab’s and magCulture shared have remembrances.
