032c
Berlin takes aesthetic media into its own hands
032c is a contemporary culture magazine founded in 2000 in Berlin by Joerg Koch and Sandra von Mayer-Myrtenhain. Originally starting as a small art publication, it evolved into an influential biannual magazine that sits at the intersection of fashion, art, architecture, and critical theory. The magazine takes its unusual name from the Pantone color code for the specific shade of red used in its early editions.
Over the years, 032c has become renowned for its boundary-pushing content and distinctive visual identity, featuring in-depth interviews, essays, and photo spreads with leading cultural figures and emerging talents. The publication has expanded beyond print media to include a fashion line and a physical space in Berlin that serves as a workshop and venue for cultural events. Known for its intellectual rigor combined with a style-conscious aesthetic, 032c has established itself as a vital voice in global contemporary culture, particularly influential in bridging high fashion with underground art and subcultural movements.
