i-D celebrates its 30th birthday and to mark the occasion, photographer, Nick Knight, has shot three different covers featuring Lady Gaga, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, based on the theme of Then, Now and Next.
Editor in Chief Terry Jones said: “30 years – whoosh, more than an instant in i-D’s lifeline – it’s a generation. Three decades to be celebrated and contained in this special issue. The whole issue was created by Nick Knight 200 portraits that SHOWstudio made at the close of 2009 in Somerset House – once the home of British passports, now the central location for British Fashion Week. Nick’s celebration of identity was also a commemorative project inspired by the 5th birthday issue of i-D, where 100 portraits were featured in The Grown Up Issue. 25 years on, the gallery selection grew to 200. Happy birthday!”
Apparently, Kate and Naomi were less than pleased when they learnt Gaga was going to be a part of the shoot. To be honest, we can hardly blame them. Gaga definitely knows how to strike a fierce pose and her cover is amazing. Sorry Kate and Naomi, but Gaga is very much in the Now.
