i-D Meets

Through her alternative take on Japanese beauty standards and "glittery cute" R&B sound, Rina Sawayama is the rising star redefining outdated ideas on what it means to be an East Asian model and musician today.

During her recent trip to Australia, i-D spent the day with Annie Clark at the Sydney Opera House. Between exploring empty theatres, backstage secrets and quiet corners we caught up on the latest incarnation of her musical doppelgänger St. Vincent.

We head to the seaside with Brighton's Josie Millard for an intimate look inside the growing female skate scene.

Under the neon glow of Soho, we sat the provocative director down with his leading victim to dissect their creation.

i-D meets the creative minds behind 'Polyester,' 'LAW,' and 'Mushpit,' three ­zines for the 21st century, born out of love, sweat, tears, late nights, and paper cuts.

Join us as i-D meets Violet Chachki, learns more about her beginnings in the scene, and goes backstage with her at Ru Paul's DragCon in Los Angeles.

Bibi Bourelly may be an in demand songwriter, but it’s her own music that will make the most noise.
