Colors - French Edition

Yes, this magazine is published by Benneton. Yes, the people who sell clothes that are fashionable but only fit people who are anorexic.

The concept of the magazine is "a magazine about the rest of the world". A hard promise, but it delivers. Each issue addresses one topic with excellent pictures and writing in two languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian). The topics have included: teenagers, family, Buddhist prayers, water, touch, race, mamma, etc.

The writing is sympathetic and informative. The pictures and graphics are eye-opening and sometimes shocking. Ads are minimal and are not usually mixed with the content. There is always a section where you can get more information.

Also, COLORS changes with the times. It occasionally comes in different sizes, occasionally it has come with two magazine in one issue and other variations. The latest issue (teenagers) has codes that you hold up to your computer camera when you are on their website and see the pictures come to life on your computer screen and hear the people in the pictures giving you more information about their lives.

I don't think that you save anything by buying a subscription. I got it because after reading this magazine for almost 20 years, I still don't want to miss a single issue. I can usually find it in the big-box bookstores, but I have missed a few that way.

Enjoy!

the magazine is as good as you can imagine--each issue on a different subject, beautifully designed and written and bilingual, but you are lucky if you will get the magazine months after they send it from Italy --if you get it at all. They won't send them by air and they don't seem to sell them in stores unfortunately.
