$3,750.00

On offer an incredible rare offering of 13 i-D Magazine issues as a lot from N°01 to  N°13 a Collection from 1980 - 1983. LONDON in the form of Magazines that document Street Culture via Youth, Punk, New Wave, New Romantics, Reggae, Queer life, and so much more. This was a Magazine that had so much power that is impossible to imagine in Today's quick information age. We waited dearly for each new issue to hit the Newsstand monthly! Those pictures communicated a worldwide Tribe of Underground. i-D Magazine carried News, Fashion, style, and ideas that were new and exciting. It screamed LONDON, LONDON, LONDON!

Of course on issue N°01 we can see the biomorphic wink of the eye that i-D is and all models replicated for all covers!

"...the special relationship with i-D, which saw founder Terry Jones act as Fiorucci’s art director and Elio as the magazine’s principal sponsor, resulted in the production of special Fiorucci–only editions. (Terry Jones)..."After I had started i-D, we were struggling with distribution, and in 1983 Elio Fiorucci came on board as a global distributor. At the same time he asked if I would be Fiorucci’s creative director. So then he became a major client". (See Foto of a Fiorucci ad by Terry Jones from issue N°13).

Without Elio Fiorucci's Distribution & Advertising/investment i-D would not be the Magazine we know and love Today.

It is within these first 13 issues in a rectangular format that are the raw essence/birth of i-D as issue N°14 announces itself in a new format and has SADE ADU on the Cover and the following Month N°15 has Madonna on the cover! i-D arrives internationally!
