Bjork has never been a stranger to controversy, style or innovation. Now in her fourth decade of making music, we give you the A to Z of this one-woman fireball. That means E for eggs, T for Timbaland, I for daughter Isadora, J for Jeremy Scott and C for cooking. Your ABCs just got a whole lot more fun. 92 Blue is a masculine colour. Introduction Terry Jones. Interview Terry and Tricia Jones. Photography Ben Dunbar-Brunton. Styling Erika Kurihara. The head honcho of Diesel, electric blue-eyed Renzo Rosso is a family man with big ideas. Here, he talks fashion, football, farms, family and explains how a humble jeans label took over the world. 102 Lube is an anagram of blue. Text and photography Jason Evans. Lightning Bolt are the thunder storm of music from a peaceful place – Rhode Island, New England. After hooking up with the band in small town Denmark, where fans bombed the stage for these boys named Brian, i-D gets to go home with them. Earplugs optional. 108 Blue is believed to keep bad spirits away. Text Chris Wallace. Photography Matt Jones. Styling George Kotsiopoulos. Once the good witch living a Charmed life, and the ex of Marilyn Manson, the raven-tressed, creamy-skinned, red-lipped Rose McGowan is a chameleon of glamour.

Stills Paris is Burning. An icon of Vogueing, a dancer for Masters at Work and Malcolm McLaren, an inspiration to the ghetto-fab everywhere, and star of Paris is Burning, Willi Ninja passed away last year. i-D’s exclusive interview pays tribute to a star still burning bright, that will never go out. 130 Blue is the colour associated with intellect. Text Holly Shackleton. Photography Carmen Freudenthal and Elle Verhagen. The Arnhem Fashion Biennale has been getting clever with clothes for the last three years. For the 2007 event in Holland, they crack a smile – the theme is happiness. They make a theme park of the theme too, with rides from the likes of Lanvin, John Galliano, Cassette Playa and Sandra Backlund. Strap yourself in and get ready to squeal. 146 Blue is the colour of the water and sea. Text Alexandra Phanor. Photography Juli Leonard. Black goes into the blue with Cullen Jones – the first African American swimmer to hold a world record in swimming. A style icon in the making as well, you’re gonna see a lot more of this water baby. 152 Turquoise is the colour of youth. Text Paul Flynn. Photography Ben Weller. Japan know their street style better than most – Tokyo spits out Western trends in a whole new context every day. i-D goes East to check out what what’s hot on the streets, and to Japanese Fashion Week to discover the home grown talent flourishing too. 162 i-D Live Rob Van Der Nol makes street boys blush with his camera antics, Mute Records celebrates the big 3-0 with a box set to send every ‘80s teen back to their bedroom, author Simon Reynolds gives his expert opinion on everything from Post-punk to The Smiths and Clipse, Optimo and Black Devil tell us what makes them spin right now, Digitalism are a couple of nice boys changing dance music for the better, and there’s all the usual art, print, film and music reviews. 178 i-Con Kate Moss Beyond categorisation, Kate Moss is almost beyond an i-Con. i-D have loved her 4eva and eva – featuring her on no less than nine covers. Now hooked up with Pete and showing her designing skills with the most anticipated high street collection ever produced (at Topshop, like you didn’t know), Kate Moss is still as cool as that cute teenager of our first crush. She answers questions from friends Vivienne Westwood, Dolce & Gabbana and Irina about

You know, on that cover, she looks like some sort of crochet-shaman, so there was no need to put that big WAAGHH! over the front of what already is a very arresting image. It's crazy enough, there's no need for that sort of coverline overkill.

Besides, Bjork would say something much more interesting than WAAGHH! while wearing a dress of crochet which to my mind, resembles in shape the type of fungi you see growing on the sides of trees. Rock on!

 

[julesrules815]

why would they write Waaghh on the cover?! Its kinda funny, but weird.

 

[style_expert]

weird but nice cover..I like it

 

[penny609]

any idea about the eds ?

 

[Miss Dalloway]

I agree waaaghhh was totally unecessary

 

[arlekindearrabal]

willi ninja!! (rip)
a definite must-buy
let's see if i can get my hands on it

 

[margo_girl]

cool cover

 

[testinofan]

loveeed

 

[Ceptuouse]

why would they write Waaghh on the cover?! Its kinda funny, but weird.

I know I have to admit, i-d arent doing well with their captions as tigerrouge said, I think they really overkilled the cover

The cover doesnt make me want to buy it...Ive not been tempted much by the recent issues, but I'll wait for the eds

 

[masquerade]

omg bjork and inez and vinoodh

i wish theyd use a new picture though. those promo pics have been around forever.

but its bjork so i dont care

 

[BerlinRocks]

^yeah totaly agree....
and the album rocks.... amazing!

 

[Royal-Galliano]

yawn.

 

[Deleted member 1957]

she suprisingly looks like a model

 

[moussemaker]

Is the bodypainting her current "look"?

Because she also did it for French Rolling Stone may, from pressedefrance

 

[Royal-Galliano]

yeah, its also on her cd's cover i think its pretty awful

 

[masquerade]

yeah, they are from the same shoot i think (notice the same outfit). the mags are just using them out of context. i mean, shes not even winking, they are just covering her eye w/ text

but again, i dont care its bjork thats all i need

 

[alix*]

Woah there is way too much going on the cover.
Remove the waaagh and the poncho-esque thing from her

 

[MulletProof]

I feel like I could've done that in Paint.

I love Bjork.. but I'm not really fan of the cover.. or the new record for that matter. it'll probably grow on me in 2 years if not more, I'm slowww.
