Kurt Anderson to Colors

Kurt Andersen, the former New York Magazine Editor and founder of Inside.com is the new Editorial Director and chairman of Colors, that sleek globally thoughtful magazine put out by Benneton.

The magazine up until now revolved around a single theme, like, say, "Death." Using thought provoking and compelling photographs, Colors would present global perspectives on the subject. Andersen, who has a rather evolved sense of design, like many of the Baby Boomer generation (he was a cultural and architecture critic at Time), should be an interesting fit.
