From 1970s roots to 1980s rise
The foundational work for i-D Magazine began in 1977 with Terry Jones, then art director of British Vogue. He pioneered "The Straight-Up"—raw, full-length street portraits of punks, New Wavers, and London's King's Road youth. Rejected as too radical by Vogue, these authentic images became i-D’s signature style: real people, real clothes, "tell it like it is."
The 1980 launch: Identity and innovation
i-D Magazine officially launched in London in August 1980 as a DIY, hand-stapled fanzine. Typed on a typewriter, the 40-page, 50p publication initially sold only 50 copies. Its name, i-D, stands for "Identity," and its tilted logo ingeniously forms a winking smiley—a brand mark featured on every cover. Its mission was clear: to document underground UK youth culture, encompassing punk, post-punk, New Romantics, Buffalo style, street fashion, and club music. Collectors and enthusiasts of British subculture will find these early issues particularly compelling.
Defining the eighties: From fanzine to fashion bible
By the mid-80s, i-D rapidly evolved from a fanzine into a glossy magazine, joining London’s esteemed "holy trinity" of style press alongside The Face and Blitz. In 1984, Tony Elliott, founder of Time Out, acquired a 51% stake, though Terry Jones remained editor-in-chief and creative director. i-D became instrumental in launching the careers of legends such as Nick Knight, Juergen Teller, Craig McDean, Naomi Campbell, Grace Jones, and Boy George, all of whom featured in its early pages. It uniquely defined 80s British subculture, transforming street style into a global fashion language and democratising style, proving that "you didn’t need to be a model, just have attitude." These issues are highly sought after by fashion historians, collectors of iconic photography, and fans of 80s culture.
