i-D magazine is not the same I.D. magazine. the former is the magazine described on this page, a fashion magazine. the latter is short for Industrial Design magazine, which is what the misplaced product description above describes.in 2005 it was:
my go-to fashion magazine
i-D focuses on the high fashion and its culture, particularly europe-based/ international designers.
the magazine often features interviews with top designers, executives, and misc. fashion celebrities. there are several large spreads of photography in every issue, with very clear themes and well-selected, representative pieces from fresh off the runway lines, accompanied by similarly fresh hair and make up. this is what stylists and designers read.
many large chain bookstores carry i-D, i would say it enjoys the widest circulation among its competitors (V/ this is a magazine.) its non-industry readership can be compared to that of surface magazine, but i-D is very fashion focused. the subscription is not cheaper than buying individual issues, but it sells out from bookstores and newsstands regularly.
in 2010 it is:
an artifact.
the gestalt and aesthetics remain the same as it was 5 years ago. if i wanted a tasteful, popular, safe fashion opinion i'd go read Vogue. it's fashion magazine, not a National Geographic.
this is a magazine made by and read by an aging population. Mariah Carey on the cover? demoted.
youth culture has changed; fashion has changed. it's high time that it's reflected in print, because some people can't acknowledge what's happening until they are told.
printed in England.
but i knew it for many years, cos i live in china, there's few foregin magazine i could bought around my city beijing.
i booked it in a import&export company.
it's really too expensive to me, it cost more than 1,000 yuan RMB.
you could read all new in this mag. new models, new fashion, new photographers etc.
the quanlity of this mag is well, paper and print are the best.
its pics are not just beautiful also can get you into a think-time, and you will won something that you feeling great.
so buy i then get the i-D's mind into your brain.
after few monthes you will find i-d is one of the greatest mag in the world.
