i-D: The First Forty Years

i-D magazine has been a consistent source of inspiration for fashion culture for the past 40 years. Published by Rizzoli, this anniversary volume is the ultimate tribute to the irreverent and forward-thinking magazine that revolutionised not only the world of fashion publishing but fashion itself. Each chapter breaks down a different cultural era, starting with punk-fuelled ‘80s London when i-D was just a hand-stapled zine, to the present day with its mighty two million Instagram followers. Featuring a mix of original rephotographed spreads from the magazine, reprinted text pieces, archival imagery, covers, and new essays - exploring both the history of i-D and the wider cultural contexts of each era, this volume has one defining message: that fashion should be inclusive, fun, diverse, and—always—original.
