Global fashion publisher i-D (part of VICE Media Group) has unveiled ‘The Ultra! Issue’ for fall 2022, inspired by the i-D of the early 2000s when the magazine evolved into a publication that was bigger, glossier and more fashion focused. As editor-in-chief Alastair McKimm writes in his editor’s letter: “In a time of constant flux, one thing is certain: the algorithm may change but this physical print publication will always exist as an archive of our time.”
‘The Ultra! Issue’ features nine cover stars; Elio Berenett shot by David Sims, Rianne Van Rompaey shot by Willy Vanderperre, Anok Yai shot by Mario Sorrenti, Naomi Campbell and Goldie shot by Johnny Dufort, Enya and Tye Davis shot by Alastair McLellan, Awar Odhiang shot by Amy Troost, Kiki Willems shot by Dan Jackson, Simona Kust shot by Drew Vickers and Bella Hadid shot by Sam Rock.
According to the publisher, this issue of i-D is a celebration of print publishing and how it can capture the cultural zeitgeist. In collaboration with some of the most esteemed fashion photographers of our time, including David Sims and Willy Vanderperre, ‘The Ultra! Issue’ stars some of the world's most iconic models including Bella Hadid and Naomi Campbell alongside new faces like Enya and Tye Davis.
Alongside her cover and shoot, continued the publisher, supermodel Bella Hadid speaks to i-D in an exclusive interview about finding her own happiness and accepting herself, opening up about her struggles with body image and mental health, as well as with the fashion industry’s reluctance to acknowledge her Palestinian heritage. In an exclusive i-D video interview landing tomorrow, Bella speaks about her earliest childhood memories, biggest fears and discovering her passions.
Speaking of the content inside the issue, i-D says that features include fashion icon Andre Walker in conversation with Marc Jacobs discussing the shifting role of creativity, a profile of artist Wolfgang Tillmans, who has collaged his own i-D archive to coincide with his exhibition at New York’s MOMA, a spotlight on British-Jamaican designer Martine Rose who draws inspiration from rave, hip-hop and punk subcultures, as well as a celebration of 50 years of designer Yohji Yamamoto’s fashion by his friends, collaborators and fans, photographed by Mario Sorrenti.
