Over the course of 13 controversial issues, influential designer Tibor Kalman (1949-1999) used his position as Editor in Chief of the international magazine Colors to challenge the status quo. Through a highly visual language, he creatively explored the world’s problems – racism, AIDS – and preoccupations – sports, shopping – to propel social change. That Colors was sponsored by the Benneton clothing company made the media experiment all the more intriguing.
