Jean-Francois Bizot, the founder of Actuel has mentioned that the creation of this publication revolutionized the landscape of French press.
Crash arrived on the French market in 1998 characterized with an element of the unexpected, filled with a deliberate desire to change things: characterized by a minimalist layout and design, it is constituted by challenging avant-garde visuals seeking to emphasize the beauty of things with innovative ideas. Crash worked in close relation with artists such as Air, Daft Punk, Abel Ferrara, Larry Clark, Jared Leto, [9] Michel Gondry during the emergence of the "French Touch". Since 2000, however, they have shifted their focus towards the "New Generation" such as Sofia Coppola, Phoenix and Super Discount.
Crash quickly started to gain the attention of high-end luxury brands such as Chanel and Christian Dior, who looked to revamp their image and attract a younger public, something Crash was able to provide.[ citation needed ]
