i-D April 2008 : Rinko Kikuchi by Matt Jones

[nyc_art_style]

This cover is horrifying. It scares me. Its such a shame since Rinko is such a pretty girl. And its not even nice Chanel...

It truly seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it cover. I like the attitude of it, and it's in keeping with old-style i-D covers... it can't be suspenders and eyeshadow every month or else we'd get bored. Who knows what the next cover is going to bring, that's the beauty of this unexpected one. (And don't say Agyness, I've heard the rumours but I don't know if my liking for her can withstand her current omnipresence, never mind a forthcoming dedicated issue to her.)

I'm on the fence about this cover; sometimes I see it and think it's adorable, sometimes I just think it looks weird.

i like rinko, but i am really not sure about the cover.
like someone said already, she doesnt look like herself!
it definitely looks very 90s. less 'cool' like the current decade's covers.

 

[kasper!]

she looks like a hong kong fashion critic(winifred lai) on the cover..

I love Rinko but I hate this cover.

 

[ApertureRomance]

I'm pretty sure I read a myspace bulletin about the agyness issue from i-D , I wouldn't be surprised.

[harmonious]

the cover is very cute!

GOOD GIRL GONE BAD? whom do they want to sell a cover with this title? it haven't got more cliche since Courtney Love's heydays. and even when Mrs Cobain is sober it seems like every 'good' girl you can google was born just to 'be gone bad'. pfffff...
they should've shot Amy Winehouse for this cover. the girl would definitely work this 'Hollywood smile'.

I like the cover - it's fun and unpretentious

can you give a review? Who are the models?

 

[J'ador-DioR]

I flipped through it at the store. I'm not sure if I want to get it or not....although the Rick Owens & Terry Richardson features look quite interesting.

Models within the issue are: Catherine McNeil, Cameron Russell, Daul Kim, Taryn Davidson & Toni Garrn. All have only-girl editorials. I remember that Toni Garnn's ed was shot by Richard Bush.
