Tributes have been pouring in for photographer Oliviero Toscani, the Italian fashion photographer renowned for his long-lasting and provocative collaboration with clothing brand Benetton, who died on Monday aged 82.
Toscani, who served as the art director of the global fashion brand for two decades, had amyloidosis, a disease characterized by a build up of abnormal protein deposits in the body. He told Corriere della Sera newspaper in August last year “I don’t know how long I have to live, but I’m not interested in living this way.”
