032c magazine is a bi-annual, English-language contemporary culture magazine that covers art, fashion, and politics. It was founded in 2001 by Joerg Koch and is published in Berlin.[1]

History[edit]

The magazine was founded in Berlin in 2001 by Joerg Koch, a freelance journalist who had previously run a gallery, and his wife Sandra von Mayer-Myrtenhain, a documentary producer who created it as a way to win attention for their website 032c.com.[2] The original cover featured a giant red square, a reference to the bold color in the Pantone Matching System for which the publication is named.[2] Now the magazine has featured names such as Kanye West and Ricardo Tisci on its cover.

Reception[edit]

032c has received acclaim for its design and was awarded one of Germany's Lead Awards for National Visual Lead Magazine in 2006 [3] The magazine's new design layout in 2007 became a hotly debated issue in the fashion and media world.[4] 032c was awarded the German media award Lead Magazine of the Year in 2008 [citation needed]. Its fashion editorials have been awarded Lead Mood and Fashion Photography awards in 2014 and 2015 [citation needed].
