Colors is a
bi-monthly magazine produced by the
United Colors of Benetton. The primary content is
photography and facts from countries the world over, all
inter-related by some (usually controversial) topic. It is
bilingual, available only in English and one of Spanish, French, German or Italian. They also maintain a website at
http://www.colorsmagazine.com (warning - make sure you have
shockwave flash!).
The premiere issue of this magazine had a statement that epitomizes the spirit of the thing:
Diversity is good... there has been a lot of talk about the planet becoming 'smaller' - that technology, whether it's the jet plane or fax machine or communications sattelite, is erasing the differences between cultures and peoples. We don't think that this should be the case...
We don't want to sell our culture to you. We want you to tell us about your culture."
