According to distributors COMAG: “i-D has a reputation as a manual of style and an indisputable source of consistent inspiration for everyone involved in culture. Now one of the world’s most innovative and influential magazines, covering fashion, music, art, design, film and all things cultural and stylish.
Subtitled ‘The Alphabetical Issue’, the Pre-Spring edition of i-D has seven stunning covers celebrating the best spring/summer 2013 fashion on the world’s most exciting models.
Appearing on her 13th outing on the cover, Kate Moss will be on not one, but four covers shot by Daniele + Iango as well as i-D Fashion Director Charlotte Stockdale. Styled in four of the standout collections of the season - Prada, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga and Dior – Kate celebrates 20 years of working with i-D with four guaranteed collector’s items.
As well as the ever-popular Kate Moss (who is always a good seller), other models featured on the Pre-Spring issue include Suvi Koponen resplendent in Givenchy, Karmen Pedaru in Chanel and a group of new models photographed by Sarah Richardson and Richard Bush looking bewitching in Hedi Slimane’s first womenswear collection for Saint Laurent.

Hitting the streets of London with British Fashion Awards ‘Model of the Year 2012’ Cara Delevingne and a gaggle of new faces, all of whom appear in a witches inspired story.
While elsewhere, returning from the New York, London, Milan and Paris shows, i-D’s Fashion Editors outline some of the hottest trends from the spring/summer 2013 fashion week events.
