Tibor Kalman
Tibor Kalman was born in 1949 in Budapest. At the age of eight his family moved to Poughkeepsie, N.Y. where Kalman was ridiculed for being an outsider and not knowing the English language (Haber).

Tibor Kalman left Colors in 1991 due to life-threatening cancer and creative differences with the Benetton Group. He then returned to New York and re-opened M&Co. where he worked until his death in 1999. Although his work at Colors was brief, it left a lasting impact on the world of design, giving future designers the strength to push the envelope with respect to social issues.
