editors note
terry jones In 1980 Terry Jones, his wife Tricia Jones, and Blitz kid Perry Haines founded the magazine i-D. The rst issue was hand-stahand-sta pled photocopies in the style of a fanzine with little distribution. But over the years i-D developed to a glossy fashion magazine with global impact, while still keeping its cutting-edge view on fashion and youth culture. From its launch in 1980, to the summer of 1985, when the magazine moved to Covent Garden, i-D was produced from the top oor of Terry and Tricia Jones’ terraced house in West Hampstead. Pioneering the ‘straight-upstreet-style portrait, the mag

azine presented an alternative, grass-roots view of fashion, which contrasted greatly with the raried glamour of mainstream fashfashion at the time. The winking cover-star, from Madonna in 1984 to Cara Delevingne on recent issues, has since become a cheeky trademark for the i-D brand. Terry’s intentions and direction of i-D have always been well-focused, exemplied in his interinterview with Hint: “[British] Vogue will look at i-D and think, ‘We’d like a bit of that photographer.’ Some photographers have that in mind when they shoot for us, but their work in i-D will have more soul. That’s the difference. We’ve become a virus, which was kind of intentional.

here’s your rst look at the studio ghibli theme park. Soon you’ll be able to walk around inside the house from ‘Howl’s ‘Howl’s Moving Castle.’ By : André-Naquian Wheeler Studio Ghibli fans have fantasized about a large-scale theme park inspired by Hayao Miyazaki’s cerebral worlds for a long time — desiring something akin to Disney World. There have been numerous fan-made mockups over the years, one artist cleverly drawing up a Cat Bus monorail. Our fantasies will soon become reality. Last year, Studio Ghibli announced plans to open a sprawling theme
The park seamlessly blends awe-inspiring attractions with nature. There’s the distincdistinctive Victorian-era house from Howl’s Moving Castle, hidden behind a thick layer of trees.

watch the rst ‘skam austin’ episode now Meet the characters from the US remake of the hit cult show. By: André-Naquian Wheeler SKAM has ofcially arrived in AmeriAmeri ca! The cult Norwegian teen show ororganically gained an ardent following in America through its raw, unltered take on adolescence. Now, the show has moved from Oslo, Norway to Austin, Texas. SKAM is unique for airing through real-time episodes posted on a daily basis. We ofcially received our rst clip of SKAM Austin Tuesday afterafternoon at 3:40PM CT. Airing on the streaming platform Facebook Watch, the rst ve-minute clip introduces us to outsider teen Meghan and her friends and boyfriend. The opening is pretty similar to rst episode of the original SKAM, viewers seeing Meghan bummed out about her low test score. “I know no one cares about Frozen but I relate to Elsa so much,” Meghan’s seatmate drones on in the beginning. “That movie needs a trigger warning or something because it’s just so relatable to me.” Same, girl, same.

soa coppola says paramount studios was ‘afraid’ to release ‘the virgin suicides’ Soa Coppola is arguably one of the greatest directors of our time. She has disrupted Hollywood by being one of just a (tragically) few critically acclaimed female directors, becoming known for her radically soft aesthetic. However, Soa’s unique approach to girlhood was not always understood, and at rst it scared studio executives. Soa recently revealed She says her 1999 directorial debut The Virgin Suicides received a small-scale, lackluster release because Paramount Studios “didn’t really know what to do with it.” The Kristen Dunst-led lm depicted ve sisters who take their own lives in a tragic suicide pact, leaving only questions in their wake. “They were afraid that girls were
Almost twenty years later and The Virgin Suicides is nally getting the proper attenatten tion it deserves.The esteemed Criterion Collection has inducted the coming of age classic into its canon and released a special edition DVD of the lm, including a BTS lm directed by Soa’s mother and 4K digital restoration. The lm’s induction is a big win for female directors. There are hundreds of classics in the Criterion Collection — includincluding lms like P.T. Anderson’s Punch Drunk Love and David Lynch’s Eraserhead— but only 42 are directed by women. Other female-directed lms includes Lena Dunham’ Dunham’ss Tiny Furniture and Laurie Anderson’s Heart of a Dog. “I hope anyone has a DVD player to watch it,” Soa joked to Entertainment Weekly. “I’m not sure if anyone has DVD players anymore, but I’m glad we got to make it!” Soa also shared new details about her work on The Virgin Suicides. The adaptation of Jeffrey Eugenides’ 1993 novel was almost made by a male director. director. “I heard he wasn’t doing it, so I started working on my own script as an exercise in how to adapt a book,” Soa says. “... I heard [the other director] was doing it in a really dark way.

dash stores closing marks the end of an era
In memoriam of the Kardashian boutique where it all started.
24
[April 2018]
Remember how it felt to enter a retail establishment, rather than just ordering everything online? Us neither. Ever ahead of the curve. The Kardashians have announced via Kim’s website that they’ll be closing their DASH stores after twelve years in business, including the much visited Melrose Avenue location.. tion “From opening locations in Los Angeles, Miami and New York, to having our ‘Dash Dolls’ spin-off show, it’s been such a huge part of our lives,” Kardashian West says in a post titled “Such a bittersweet announcement” (as a side note, was Dash Dolls anyany one else’s favorite show while it aired?). “We’ve loved running DASH, but in the last few years, we’ve all grown so much indiindividually. We’ve been busy running our own brands, as well as being moms and balancing work with our families.” DASH was in fact the store that started it all — when the show rst aired, all three sisters worked in their rst location in Calabasas, which seems hard to imagine now. Truly, the Kardashian empire has expanded exponentially exponentially,, adding not only businesses, from Kim’s KKW BeauBeauty to — Khloe’s Good American, butour also chil children welcome, True! “We love DASH Dolls and are so grateful for the amazing memories.” Thankfully, our favorite Dash Doll, Khloe’s best friend Malika Haqq, will still be gracing our screens on KUWTK.

Allegedly, the rise of Ebay was supposed to render second hand shopping redundant, but seemingly it’s done the opposite — we now spend so much time online that IRL shopping experiences have become so much more valuable.

this is the rad la diy label making all inclusive clothes for all bodies “I think we’re lucky because of where we come from culturally,” muses artist and Los Angeles underground stalwart Cali Thornhill DeWitt. DeWitt . He’s He’s talking about a lifetime of punk shows, record releases, art exhibitions, and sticker making that has culminated in Some Ware, the label he designs with musician and artist Brendan Fowler. With Some Ware they’ve captured the moment with a simple but beautiful idea — that clothes should t and, beyond that, look good on everyone regardless of race, age, size, or gender. “We’ve thought, for 20 years or more, that if you have the belief in something, you just do it… I forget that most people don’t know that you can pretty much do anything you want.” It’s this attitude (or “radness” as BrenBren dan might say) that produced one of the highlights of the spring/summer 18 shows — the Some Ware happening in Paris. Sporting their three silhouettes — a huge long-sleeve t-shirt, knee-patched trousers, and a dress — friends, includincluding No Vacancy Inn’s Tremaine Emory
and Japanese actress Kozue Akimoto, slouched out to the experimental sounds of fellow LA-dwellers Odwalla 1221. “The summer before, we were in Paris during menswear season,” Brendan says. “We were having such a fun time living on planet fashion, and we were like, we should do a show!” Some Ware’s is the kind of DIY ethic markedly missing from Paris. “I think of all the DIY shows Brendan’s played in basements and laundrolaundro mats,” Cali says. “Knowing all of these things will take on a life of their own that you can’t predict. You can control as much as you can, but what you can’t predict is the vibe.” Both took long and winding roads to fashion. Brendan had a solo musical project, BARR, and toured incessantly before pursuing sculpture. His Election Reform project, which started as a sculpture exhibited at LACMA, turned into hoodies embroidered with text and graphics highlighting failures in the American electoral system. Cali’s had a
30
[April 2018]
similarly eclectic path. He was a babysitter for Frances Bean Cobain, had a record label (“I mean it was never great — I didn’t send out promos or do ads”) and also works as an artist. We are all talking at Cali’s studio, surrounded by political gures with their horrid, gaping mouths obscured by bands of thick neon paint. A lot of Cali’s art has involved sweatshirts and tees reminiscent of the ones made locally by the Latino community to commemorate friends that have passed. It was these that caught the eye of Kanye West. Yes, Cali was responsible for the much imitated, moment-dening Life of Pablo tour merch. “For me, the T-shirt has always been there,” he grins through gold teeth. “Punk T-shirts were super important. Even when I was ten years old I wanted a Screamers logo on a jacket.” Brendan adds, “Sometimes people say,
31
[April 2018]
‘It’s weird you’re doing clothes now,’ but it’s like, ‘No, this is the least weird thing possible.’ As someone who’s done perforperformance and also made sculpture, it’s satisfysatisfying a lot of the same urges.”
“When I’m dying one of the things I’ll like thinking about are the many friends I have around the world. That may sound silly, but it’s true. There are all these cities I can go to lled with people I know and love.”
Some Ware’s T-shirts, made of recycled fabfabrics, feature a seam down the back and another across the chest, lending them sculptural form. “We got the shirt and knew we wanted it a little wider, so it’s the width of the entire roll of fabric, with one back seam, which gives it this rad drape too,” Brendan says, pulling huge amounts of fabric out of his enormous Election Reform bag (his next project). “We call it “the new body,” which is fun. The silhouette is a bit of a carry-over from when Cali designed the Kanye West merch, but the shape was a subtle act of genius.” The genius he’s talking about is that they suit all types of people and body shapes: big, small, and somewhere in between. “The shirts are bigger, it’s inclusive of all genders and all bodies,” Brendan smiles. “We did these shirts that were XL, but I had a couple of heartbreaking instances where larger people couldn’t t into them, and I was so bummed! So I said, we just need to go bigger, and say, all bodies, all people. It’s a shout out to everyone!”

jenny fax’s fax’s clothes are the kawaii version of ‘twin peaks’ A Jenny Fax runway show feels like the set of an 80s lm about a missing teen girl. At her spring/summer 12 show, show, models walked down the runway wearing soft pastel yellows, kitten heels and socks, and dramatically puffy sleeves. Her soundtrack oats from Twin Peaks composer Angelo Badalamenti’s “Just You” to Bob Seger’s “Against The Wind,” landing on the sweet sorrow of Linda Ronstadt covering “Desperado.” For fall/winter 14, one model sat in a clawfoot tub eating spaghetti against wall of tiles. Designer Shueh Jen-Fang’s fall/winter 18 collection featured silks, knee socks, short hems, and giant bows.
This most recent collection sees Jen-Fang’s composite young girl gure grow up, bebecoming a Working Girl character of sorts. Specically, she’s a woman Jen-Fang dedescribes as an “amazing lady” who started her rst job in the 80s, during Japan’s bubbubble economy era. Fang paints a specic pic p ic-ture of this archetypal 80s power woman,
33
[April 2018]
a woman balancing responsibility — family, marriage, career — with, perhaps, an ununplaceable desire for something more. She’s a small departure from Fang’s nostalgic teen girl muse of previous seasons. “[It’s] very power shoulder and vivid color, a very energetic moment,” the designer says. “She is full of hope for her life. In the 90s, she tried to give as much as she could to her child. Finally, this lady made a huge mistake in her life. Everything failed.” She explains that the nger and hand accessories take cues from surrealism. “I wanted to show how confusing this lady’s world has become. My muse is always teenage girls, but this time I made my muse more adult...I was inspired by my mum’s fashion and habits.”

Previous collections have included shiny, red baby shoes attached to the tops of heels and mice hanging from a shirt, their tails shaped into hearts. One piece from her fall/winter 18 collection is a string of kitschy cookie cans, called “Mum’s Cookie Can ColCollection,” that can be worn around your neck. “My mum loves to collect many things,” JenFang says. “She collected all the nice cookie cans, I remember...”

supreme resurrect pinhead in a collaboration with cult comic gorefest hellraiser

From The Wizard of Oz to Taxi Driver, E.T. to Kids and Scarface to Akira, Supreme’s innite scroll of collaborators is lled with cinema creative-coming-togethers. Rather than a prized popcorn family-friendly favourite, streetwear’s biggest beast has looked to a cult classic of horror to add a

Based on a short novel by Clive — the British author, playwright and screenscreenwriter who Stephen King declared as the future of horror — the lm follows a family who open a mysterious puzzle box and invite hell in to their lives in the form of S&M club-inspired

creatures known as Cenobites and led by Pinhead. Upon its release, Hellraiser broke the era’ss slasher mold with a unique blend of gore era’ and eroticism.
So for those of you who haven’t seen the original or any release from the series that followed, what is Hellraiser? Well, it’s it’s a BritBrit ish horror love story that has amused, dis-
It’s since expanded into a ten-lm franchise and Pinhead — who only had eight-minutes of screen time in the original, yet stole the show — has become an enduring icon of Hellraiser. So, that’s why Supreme has worked on a capcapsule collection showcasing imagery from the series. “I got a good reaction from the S&M crowd — and still do,” Barker explained to the Guardian last year. “I was validating a lifestyle. It was a celebration of the beauty of these strange secret rituals.” Now a new generation can wear this beauty on their sleeves, their chests, their everything. To paraphrase Pinhead himself: “No tears please (if you miss out), it’s a waste of good suffering!” Eptatendem. Nequuntibus molore rectius aut lacessectae.

of 2009’s extravagantly unwearable “1002 Nights” collection, no model could carry it down the runway in the elegant manner it warranted, leading Guo Pei to deem it “ruined.”

The title of Brettkelly’ Brettkelly’ss lm is not explicitly e xplicitly a reference to the dress.

the ornate beauty of Imperial China, eventually making VIP clients of communist party leaders’ wives. But regardless of this success in her homeland, Guo Pei was virtually unknown in the west until the 2016 Met Ball. Brettkelly’s documentary follows Guo Pei as she creates a collection for Paris Couture Fashion Week, as a guest member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. The opening scenes position Guo Pei as an outsider attempting to break into a very exclusive market. This is despite her obvious couture credentials — it takes 2.5 years to make each collection, using a team of 300 embroiderers she had to train herself, because embroidery was considered “feudal” during the Revolution. Guo Pei loves China, but is aware that it has historically been perceived as a place of manufacturing rather than creativity, not to mention alert to more overtly racist prejudices. As Guo Pei is house hunting in Paris for a salon to receive western clients, she displays a meticulous knowledge of Parisian design, adamant that her building be in the French style.

When I visit Stephen Ostrowski’s Chinatown studio, I sit on a couch by the window. Bright green and slightly oblong, the sofa looks as though it was plucked from one of Ostrowski’ss active and colorful artworks. Some of his ki’ pieces are exercises in abstract mark-making. Others are representational, and tend to feature crosses, ames, or owers — icoico nography the artist was exposed to growing up in an evangelical missionary community in Thailand.

Ostrowski eats breakfast and tacks up drawings while telling me about his time in Southeast Asia. His parents are originally from the midwest. His dad was born in Wisconsin, his mom in Iowa. The family moved to Bangkok when he was in elementary school. “People like me are called third-culture kids,” he explains. “You have a home country, dirt you’re technically from. But you grow up in a completely different culture. So your existence becomes this synthesis of two things that creates this third thing. It’s sort of relative to both, but also isn’t either of them. It makes ‘home’ more a bodily concept for me. My roots are very abeyant.” As a teenager, Ostrowski was able to explore Bangkok with relative freedom. His parents weren’t as overbearing or rigid as others in the evangelical community. (Besides, he was their fourth child — the rules his sisters lived by had loosened over the years). He rode motorcycles around the city, skateboarded, copped cheap weed. “The rst time I got drunk was underneath a huge trans cabaret,” he says.
