i-D Magazine Fall/Winter 2023 : The New Wave Issue

[tigerrouge]

The first cover would have been a lovely shot for a "family" issue.

The way the industry picks their next 'big' girls is so arbitrary and artificial. It's become nothing but clout.

I like Sasha Colby, but she's far from being the most suitable drag artist for a cover like this.

Pink Pantheress?! LOOOL I'm so embarrassed for this magazine.

Pink Pantheress?! LOOOL I'm so embarrassed for this magazine.

why?

 

[GoldenPetals]

why?

Because it's trying so hard to be 'forward' talking about "New wave" like they're ahead of the curve or something, when all it is is just a print Instagram account tagging remotely famous people to make it look like they've 'discovered' something. Like seriously PINK PANTHERESS? She's a nondescript 'singer' who had one novelty hit and been flopping since. It's complete arbitrary.

Cover #8 with Alex Consani by Mario Sorrenti

Cover #10 with Peter and Paul Ohunyon by Tyler Mitchell

Also who cares about flopping on the charts we know how many covers Rita Ora gets and when was her last Top 10 entry?

This magazine became such a catalog… Alistair McKimm’s “sucking up” to his clients vehicle. Appalling

I remember buying i-D each month during my teenage years. I also remember the joy and excitement I got from seeing daring, talented artists on its covers. The magazine managed to cover music, fashion, film. The possibility of putting a celebrity's 10 year-old daughter on the cover just because of her status would have been out of the question. That's why I tend to reject this kind of vain glorification of people who have yet to grow up, learn about life and, hopefully, actually create something with a certain artistic value.

I have always loved Vanderperre's work. The cover is perfectly nice... and perfectly innocuous. I do feel for him when I see his talent being wasted on this kind of inane fluff-and-puff pieces.

Agreed. Think the fault is with the bosses who put a quite mediocre stylist Alistair McKimm as the Editor in chief. The guy is too empty for such a role. His styling alone is so hollow so why did they expect he can make the magazine into more than a kiss-*** ( for his own benefit) project. Sad…

Alastair is out at i-D. Wonder if it has anything to do with the Kloss purchase?

His last issue must be the next one, obvious. We are near to the SS season. March issues are already out in USA and UK.

My bad, this is their last issue for now. There's bad blood between Karlie and Alastair?

According to The Cut, McKimm left i-D on good terms and might style shoots for the magazine in the future. There was no mention of a spring/summer 2024 issue.
