Iconic British culture magazine i-D unveiled two pre-fall covers for ”The Coming of Age” issue starring ever-evolving artist Willow Smith. The issue focuses on those who are still finding and exploring their creative niches, with a spotlight shone on Willow Smith along with photographer Ryan McGinley, dancer Maddie Ziegler, Demna Gvasalia of cult brand Vetements, French actresses Marine Vacth and many more. Both covers were shot by Tyrone Lebon and styled by Julia Sarr-Jamois and perfectly capture the energy of the issue, with a centralized focus on an age where nothing seems to fit. Acting Editor of i-D Sarah Raphael explains the concept of the issue:
“From first times to first loves to first fuck-ups, growing up is hard to explain. If we’re to believe the coming of age films, it happens in the second half, after a perspective-altering interaction. Our youth is a comedy of errors, full of excruciating, awkward moments and exhilarating “fuck it” moments, that you’ll stop short of later on.”Head directly to i-D‘s website to read more about the issue which is available now.
Following an eight year stretch designing Brooks Brothers’s Black Fleece collection, revered fashion designer Thom Browne is set to part ways with the division. Originally launched in 2007 to “explore a fashion-forward perspective on classic American style,” the Black Fleece collection represented a more innovative side to Brooks Brothers’s two hundred year history. At the moment, reasons for the split is merely speculative, but rumors state that it is due to Thom Browne’s desire to pursue his personal endeavors and further develop his womenswear collection. Financially, the Black Fleece line was very successful and turned in an estimated $10 Million USD per annum despite being somewhat shadowed by both Thom Browne and Brooks Brothers. It is said that the collection will be discontinued until further notice following the forthcoming Fall/Winter 2015 release. Stay tuned for more information on how this story develops.
