Oliviero Toscani is an Italian photographer, best-known for designing controversial advertising campaigns for the Italian brand Benetton, from 1982 to 2000. Most of these advertising campaigns were actually institutionals for the brand, always composed of rather controversial photography, usually with only the company logo “United Colors of Benetton” as caption.
In the early nineties Toscani co-founded the magazine “Colors,” also owned by Benetton, with American graphic designer Tibor Kalman. In 2005, five years after his resignation from Benetton, Toscani sparked controversy again with his photographs for an advertising campaign for the men’s clothing brand Ra-Re. Toscani unsuccessfully stood as a candidate for parliament for the new Rose in the Fist party in the Italian general election held on April 9 and 10, 2006.
