Catalogue note
i-D No. 286, April 2008, The Gender Agenda Issue, with Rinko Kikuchi photographed by Matt Jones. The issue explicitly centres changing ideas of gender presentation and sexuality in late-2000s fashion and youth publishing. Contemporary i-D-sourced contents pair this theme with material on Catherine McNeil, Collier Schorr and Peter Philips, Junya Watanabe, François Sagat, Rick Owens, Kermit/Supreme with Terry Richardson, a Factory Revisited section on Warhol superstars, and Pete Burns. The rear preserves a period Dolce & Gabbana Time advertisement.
Why this object matters
The Gender Agenda’s Schorr, Sagat, Owens and Factory material provides a substantive contemporary account of gender presentation and sexuality. Retain Gold at 9.0 for that editorial coherence, rather than the former 9.3.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
