Since punk-era London in 1980, i-D has launched the careers of some of the most innovative and influential talent in the world. By constantly reinventing itself, i-D has built its reputation on being a consistent source of inspiration in fashion culture. i-D prides itself on being the voice of a generation, the voice of the disenfranchised and the under-represented, the platform for those who have something to say.
"A 40th anniversary rates a celebration, and that is exactly we
have been invited to attend. i-D Wink and Smile!: The First Forty
Years is a visual smorgasbord of a once cutting-edge leaflet that
has sustained, evolved, and maintained one of the trendiest and
most erudite readerships of a generation...This masterful tome
brilliantly chronicles the publication, decade by decade, and
should remind all readers that London is still a
laboratory/pressure cooker for fashion and its tangential aspects.
McKimm has proven himself a clairvoyant on so many levels.
Throughout this major oeuvre we are reminded of just what made i-D
a driving juggernaut in print media, with 11 international
editions. It continues to raise the bar year after year...Whether
the reader is focused on fashion, photography, trends, or just the
latest and greatest, this is a book that must be added to their
fashion library." —NEW YORK JOURNAL OF BOOKS
"To create i-D: Wink and Smile!: The First Forty Years, McKimm
spent two years combing through the magazine’s 40-year archive. The
book, published this month by Rizzoli, is broken down by decade and
definitely proves i-D has always had its finger on the pulse of
culture. It features profiles of an 18-year-old Gisele Bündchen, a
young Björk in 1996, and Chloë Sevigny in 1995, before she was in
Kids, as well as fashion editorials from British Vogue’s current
editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful, back when he was a fashion
director for the magazine in the early aughts." —NEW YORK
MAGAZINE
"The book, edited by [Alastair] McKimm, offers a 360-degree summary
of the magazine's history and cultural impact over the
years....Divided by decade, the book features a mix of original
spreads and covers of the magazine, with images of Rihanna,
Madonna, Amy Winehouse, Björk, Vivienne Westwood, Naomi Campbell
and Justin Bieber. It includes the work of Enninful, Teller, David
Sims, Wolfgang Tillmans, Tyler Mitchell and Harley Weir. Priced at
$75, the new book also includes reprinted stories and archival
imagery. There are also reflections by Moss, Helmut Lang, Sade, Raf
Simons, Victoria Beckham, Jeremy Scott, and Phoebe Philo about
being in front of the camera during their careers. There is also a
celebratory poster." —WOMEN'S WEAR DAILY
