i-D Magazine: serving up a wink and a smile

Lara Stone, November 2008

Since 1980, i-D Magazine has reported live from London on all the happenings in fashion news and culture. And for just as long, it has featured a model/celeb on the cover surreptitiously winking at the camera...a cover quirk that has become the publication's trademark. They say the wink is a graphic representation of the magazine’s logo, and personalities from Tom Ford to Lil Kim have offered up their version of the flirtly one-eyed glance. Let's take a look at some of the most noteworthy covers, from today to back in the day.
