New Book Captures the Renegade Spirit of the London Fashion Scene in the ’80s
Part of a trio of magazines that launched in 1980–which also included i-D and The Face–Blitz was the subversive fashion brainchild of university students Carey Labovitch and Simon Tesle.
Former Blitz fashion editor Iain R. Webb has combined his impressive archive of photos with personal anecdotes from the models, photographers, and artists involved with each shoot for this unique take on the history of the mag in As Seen in BLITZ, out this month. Many of the images (including a rather unforgettable collage of Vogue editor Hamish Bowles in a Chanel twinset, a fresh-out-of-Parsons Marc Jacobs) haven’t been seen since they were first published in the pages of Blitz 30 years ago. Here’s what Webb had to say about Blitz‘s heyday.

Don’t Worry: All the Models Terry Richardson Shot for i-D‘s New ‘Just Kids Issue’ Are Over 18
Just when we thought the fashion industry was making a shift geared toward an older audience, i-D comes out with a youth-centric issue. Come to think of it, fellow avant-garde glossy V recently had the same idea with their “Youthquake” issue. Maybe we’re just moving towards extremes.

It-model Arizona Muse graces one of i-D‘s eight covers (others include Andrej Pejic, Julia-Restoin Roitfeld and Raf Simons) for their “Lights Camera Action” issue.
