Description: This is an incredibly rare opportunity to own the very first issue of i-D ...THE most iconic style magazine! Issue 1 had a tiny print run - only 60 were sold! So the first issue is one of the most sought after magazines in the world! "In 1980 Terry Jones, his wife Tricia Jones, and Blitz Kid Perry Haines founded the magazine i-D. The first issue was hand-stapled photocopies in the style of a fanzine with little distribution." - Wikipedia. It started in 1980 at the crossover between punk and the new romantics. The editor-in-chief and creator was the design legend Terry Jones. i-D pioneered the 'Straight Up' style of street fashion photography, which was a full length portrait of everyday people on the street. Issue number 1 started with 15 pages of straight-ups which became was the signature content of the magazine. They were styled by Nova magazine fashion legend Caroline Baker. Containing the most amazing imagery, full of everyday DIY wear, patches sewn on jackets, band names and styles - lots of style!
