i-D is a British bimonthly magazine dedicated to fashion, music, art and youth culture. The magazine features people in fashion, music, art, clubs, film, and every other creative field. i-D was founded by designer and former Vogue art director Terry Jones in 1980.[1][2] The first issue was published in the form of a hand-stapled fanzine with text produced on a typewriter.[1] Over the years the magazine evolved into a mature glossy but it has kept street style and youth culture central.
i-D has also held exhibitions worldwide and published several books.
Details
The magazine is known for its innovative photography and typography and as a training ground for fresh talent.[1] Photographers Wolfgang Tillmans,[1] Mario Testino,[1] Terry Richardson,[1] Craig McDean,[1] Nick Knight and Juergen Teller started their careers at i-D, as did Dylan Jones and Caryn Franklin. Other photographers that have contributed to i-D include Ellen von Unwerth, Robert Fairer, Kayt Jones, Sam Rock, and Petra Collins.

The wink and smile on each front cover—a graphic representation of the magazine's logo—are integral to the i-D identity.[4]
In November 2021, Max Clark, the magazine's fashion editor, was suspended after more than a dozen women accused him of sending sexually inappropriate messages. Clark denies the allegations.[5][6][7]
On November 14, 2023, fashion model Karlie Kloss acquired i-D from Vice Media through her newly established company Bedford Media, which will serve as the parent company for the magazine.[8] Through her acquisition, Kloss became the CEO of i-D. Creative director Alastair McKimm's role has been expanded to Chief Creative Officer and Global-Editor-in-Chief.[9]
