A project conceived by Oliviero Toscani, the mastermind behind the controversial 1990s ad campaigns for the United Colors of Benetton clothing company. As Parr and Badger explain, Toscani's approach is based on "repetition and comparison", and thus its inclusion in the chapter they call the "Dusseldorf Tendency" in The Photobook: A History, vol. II; also included in 802 Photo Books. A selection from the M+M. Auer collection. Fine / fine. Item #1274
