i-D-less?

its the end of iD as we know it.jpgThere’ve been tweets that London’s i-D Magazine is dead.

From Derek Blasberg: Gossip at Chanel lunch in Venice: did London fashion rag i-D just close? Or did it just get really, really smaller? Anybody know for sure?

He’s in Venice for Chanel resort surrounded by people who know such things.

But then there are tweets that say it’s just shrinking.

From COACD: ID MAGAZINE to cut its issue….will publish 6 times a year….Terry&Tricia Jones/ publishers.

But we imagine its publishers know such things, too. And while we want to weep over the possible loss of the magazine’s brilliant blinking covers and its consistent devotion to models, we’ll take solace in the fact that six issues a year are better than none.

And now we’ll go buy a handful of copies just in case they need a bit of support to stay afloat.

Yes it's the worst news of the economic downturn yet.

Alert the president I say. Surely there is a reserve somewhere for international culturally significant disasters such as this?

#2 - Obviously you had to notice that was a direct quote...

I do hope that the issue gets scaled down instead of closing completely - I absolutely love the covers and editorials inside.

Since when did this turn into a gossip mag. Get your facts straight before you post some tweet from a clueless person. This is what is so wrong with the industry.
