Catalogue note
i-D No. 256, The Occupation Issue, July 2005, with Romanian model Diana Dondoe photographed by Mario Sorrenti and styled by Edward Enninful. The deliberately smeared, blackened styling turns the magazine's signature wink into a more confrontational fashion image, while the issue sits within i-D's dense mid-2000s crossover of fashion, photography, music and youth culture. Exact-issue documentation also records features on Amerie, Bernhard Willhelm, Stone Island, Josh Lucas and extensive fashion portfolios.
Why this object matters
The Sorrenti/Enninful Dondoe image is an outstanding confrontational interpretation of the wink. The current evidence supports 8.5, but not a separate breakthrough sufficient to sustain the former near-Gold position.
Evidence limits: Complete — all pages/components assumed present under the standing TMR magazine completeness rule; no missing issued supplement, insert, wrap or other component has been reported.
