i-D Lifestyle Magazine

The cover of i-D Lifestyle Magazine - Issue 355 features a brooding shot of Solange Knowles taken in her hometown of Houston, fitting for the ‘Homegrown Issue’, with an accompanying text that opens up the world of the ever-growing R&B star. She reflects on the power of home as well as the influences she gained from both people and places for her new album ‘When I Get Home’, which has been long anticipated after the success of ‘A Seat At A Table’.

However a homegrown issue wouldn’t be incomplete without touching on some domestic self-made success, i-D itself being one. Therefore a thirty page feature on London’s favourite skate brand, Palace is apt. It covers the Palace story from the perspective of Lev Tanju himself on their ten year anniversary, with photography that has everything a madman could ask for from flaming stuntmen to Grecian statues. Alternatively they cover the expanding wave of migrant fashion designers, who despite fleeing from their home have made a name for themselves in their adopted countries and at home. Finally no cultural magazine would be complete without including names such as Kim Jones, Miucca Prada and Demna Gvasalia all of whom trace the many steps that lead to their success in fashion - including but not limited to; building a close knit team to disrupting the cultural status quo.

i-D lifestyle magazine is a bimonthly publication with a reputable history, documenting fashion, music and contemporary culture from around the globe. In 2012 they joined the Vice Media family, allowing for them to, in a thirty seven year, period grow from a hand stapled magazine to a leading video driven platform.
