i-D February 2009 : Anne Vyalitsyna and Boyd Holbrook by Matt Jones

[|PerfectTonight|]

Loving the cover, very fresh and interesting. Gives of a good vibe.

cute

 

[BerlinRocks]

always, the one trend that never dies!



I think that's a bit narrow way to look at it, this is i-D, the king/queen of cheeky and cheesy, as with last feb. cover. Try to look at it from i-D's tounge-in-cheek viewpoint and don't take it so serious, I doubt they do. It's the menswear-issue. No, the "manhood issue", and the cover is very much a play on, and an i-Dishing (new word!!!) of typical mens magazine covers.

Oh, and I haven't seen this posted yet:

[vogue28]

^ Not that I am aware of. January issue was still in stores yesterday

 

[Grunged]

I like it but i don't want to like it.

 

[gossiping]

please tell me this is not out in the uk yet...i still need to pick up the january issue!!

 

[taben]

^ It wasn't out in Scotland yesterday anyway

 

[julesrules815]

^i don't know if that was the point ...
but it really reminds me the Terry Richardson/Tom Ford campain in a funnier way ... a lot more natural ... and more sane ... like a couple with no power games ...
i liked TerryxTom ... and i like its opposite ...

It reminds me of that campaign and mens' magazines as well. But this picture is like an outtake or captured off-camera moment from those shoots. I love it!

 

[candlebougie]

can´t wait to see the new issue. When will it be in stores?

 

[BerlinRocks]

^i can't wait either ...
not out yet ?! it's on ebay, it's on their website ....

c'mone c'mone iD ...
when are their issue normally get out ?

 

[Northern Star]

Normally about the 5th of each month.

 

[candlebougie]

^Thanks!

It is a interesing cover; Boyd manages to pull off the very salmon pink suit nicely, although it is still a little strange Well, it looks as if Anna is enuinely perfectly comfortable being completely free of clothing around Boyd, yay for her! The quick outline given by ElectricAlyce makes this issue sound very interesting, especially the Freja feature!

 

[FashionTopFace]

Agreed, a lesbian cover would be so much better.

And ID is just the place to do that, I mean even Itakian Vogue did it! Was that actually the first lesbian cover on a fashion magazine? Anyone know? I think its becomeing the next unconventional trend. Because we need to break the heterosexual stigma.

 

[matthaeus123]

can't wait for scans of this mag

Although I agree with the "more lesbians"-dogma... what about the gays?

 

[tigerrouge]

Given that this month is the "men's issue", lesbians on the cover would run the risk of i-D repeating the same cheap thrills other mags use to sell their product to men - there seem to be plenty of "lesbians" on the cover of men's magazines.

So it would probably be a successful sales tactic for this issue, but it would have little to do with furthering a fantastic new media representation of lesbians.

This month, forget the girls - in an ideal world, I'd like to see i-D use every inch of its visual skill to sell a men's issue to all men, with two men on the cover, one perhaps naked.

 

[BerlinRocks]

^i would defenetely like a two boys cover .... and especially one naked....


anyway last year was two girls (lily and ?) ... it wasn't openly lesbian ... but *warning : cliché's coming* i always thought women have imagination when it comes to this ....
obviously women have to have imagination to understand the VI cover is a "lesbian" cover ...

 

[tigerrouge]

Yes, I must have no ladygaydar, because when I saw the VI cover, I didn't register anything of the sort, until people later said, though I liked the cover, regardless of its sexual orientation.

 

[Starry]

So I guess now this issue is already out?
Could someone post a review?
