About i-D: Since the punk-era London of 1980, i-D has been powered by a rebel punk spirit and passion for uplifting emerging talent. From our beginnings as a typewritten zine to launching the careers of today’s leading visionaries, we have consistently shaped the conversation around style and creativity. With unrivalled access to the visionaries pushing culture forward, sharp coverage of underground scenes, and a dynamic editorial vision that cuts through the noise, i-D continues to be at the centre of the cultural zeitgeist. We believe that innovative independent media matters more than ever, and we’re committed to proving it with how we show up online and in print. In this issue: Welcome to i-D’s Beta Issue, a tribute to the Generation Beta kids born in 2025 and anyone at any age who operates outside of the constraints of their era. Everyone from Jeremy Corbyn and Nicola Coughlan to Sexxy Red and Keith McNally offer advice for our Beta baby covergirl. In this issue, we bring together cover stars born in 2025, 1994, 1981 and talent that spans Boomers to babies to paint a comprehensive picture of being alive today. We learn dropping in from a Gen Z skater, we reinvent ourselves with a Gen X It Girl, and we celebrate our roots with a Millennial musician redefining fame. There is community found in Tribeca lofts and Californian ranches, freedom in Pattaya pageants and Hackney art studios, and mischief at the Chateau Marmont and in the halls of Paris grand maisons where a new generation of designers are reimagining fashion. Also insi-De: A tribute to 20 years of Telfar, Gregg Araki’s hot new film, Phoebe Gates’ secrets to success, the world’s most famous dog, some tips for your LinkedIn, Creepy Chan, and much, much more.
