i-D Magazine S/S 2025 : The 'Unknown' Issue

[unknown179]

This magazine is £20 now?? Even Pop and Another only cost around £10…?

Exactly! No one has mentioned this. They want to price their stuff like ODDA or Perfect.

the fact that law dares to call himself an image architect while working with talented people annoys me. He's trying to take all credit for a story where he rather was the model himself.

What makes me laugh about him calling himself an "image architect" is that the tern doesn't actually doesn't make me think of fashion. It just reminds me of IT with their use of "data architects."

I like the photos with xerox/scanner effect but they would work for a small independent publication or a project by a student who just graduated, not a magazine asking £20. That's ridiculous.

@Avonlea And that is where so many of these formerly “counter culture” “indie” mags have gone wrong. Sums it all up in 2025.

'And Much Much More' at the end of that dull list is SO EMBARRASSING.

I dont think Thom Bettridge can save i-D.
Karlie Kloss is the most basic person and if she is the boss, this magazine has no future.

I agree with you. And the only thing that remained of the old i-D is the logo and the website, because otherwise, no stone was left unturned. In the video below you can see the magazine from the inside, and it's sad to note that it could be the core of any independent magazine from the last ten years. It no longer has that i-D fanzine-d-i-y look (even in the digital age). R.I.P i-D

We have a teen magazine here in Brazil that has this similar layout and design lol

RIP again!

I think it is a great I-D for the young audience of…now. It does not appeal me at all as I am not their target.

From the content and the whole art direction, you can sense they want to please the 15-20yo. However they will scare them away with this price. 😂

The price is another problem lol, but in terms of reaching this audience I think their work on social media is good, their Instagram looks like a better magazine than the print version...

Yes, it's really bad.
Karlie and her Kushner husband can't make anything culturally relevant.
She is extremely bland and uninteresting, the opposite of what i-D should be.
And I don't see any aura from 032C or SSENSE (previous Bettridge gigs) there.
