History
The magazine was founded in Berlin in 2001 by Joerg Koch, a freelance journalist who had previously run a gallery, and Sandra von Mayer-Myrtenhain [citation needed]. It was originally created as a way to win attention for the domain 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]
Past contributors include Matthew Barney, David Woodard, Hedi Slimane, Daido Moriyama, Juergen Teller, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Rem Koolhaas/OMA. The fashion section has featured stories by Steven Klein, Mario Sorrenti, Collier Schorr, Inez Van Lamsweerde, Fabien Baron and Alasdair McLellan.[3][4]
Reception
032c has received acclaim for its design and was awarded one of Germany's Lead Awards for National Visual Lead Magazine in 2006 [citation needed]. The magazine's new design layout in 2007 became a hotly debated issue in the fashion and media world.[5] 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].
