i-D Magazine #376

Editor Thom Bettridge presents this edition of i-D—the third since its dynamic relaunch—exploring how the internet evolves and audiences increasingly crave layered narratives brimming with intrigue and enigma, what the magazine calls 'Lore'. This 'Lore' issue features cover personalities who embody contradiction: the mysterious yet influential—from Esdeekid, Liverpool's anonymous rap voice, and Bhavitha Mandava, the former engineering student turned unexpected modelling sensation, to the composed and commanding SZA, alongside the late visionary Martin Parr, whose lens captured the extraordinary in everyday moments.

Since 1980, i-D has championed emerging talent with a rebel spirit rooted in punk London. From typewritten zine to cultural authority, the magazine has shaped conversations around style and creativity. Today, i-D remains at the pulse of culture—offering unfiltered access to visionaries, underground scene coverage, and editorial vision that cuts through the noise.
