i-D Magazine

Sep 2026

For the September 2026 issue of i-D Magazine, the editorial team masterfully captures the intersection of pop culture and high-fashion aesthetics in a striking cover portrait featuring entertainer Slayyyter. The project leans into a refined, minimalist sensibility, positioning the subject against a clean, light-grey studio backdrop that allows the intricate textural details of her cream-coloured coat and voluminous, soft fur collar to take center stage. Under the precise lens of photographer Neva Wireko, the composition achieves a sense of intimacy as Slayyyter cradles a sleeping white rabbit, creating a juxtaposition between the high-octane world of pop stardom and a tender, quiet stillness. The imagery benefits from soft, even natural light that emphasizes the authentic, relaxed nature of the shoot while elevating the overall editorial narrative. With styling by Imaan Sayed and meticulous grooming by Dylan Chavles and Michaela Bosch, the portrait serves as a masterclass in modern editorial photography. By prioritizing a clean, uncluttered visual language, the team crafts a compelling cover that commands attention through subtlety rather than excess. This project successfully utilizes a commercial edge to anchor the magazine’s brand identity, ensuring the final result feels both iconic and timeless for a new generation of readers and visual enthusiasts alike.
