Catalogue note
i-D No. 280, September 2007, The Offspring Issue, with Gemma Ward photographed by Emma Summerton and fashion direction by Edward Enninful. The issue explicitly centres youth, childhood and teenage culture, with contemporary features spanning Cory Kennedy and MySpace-era celebrity, underage club culture, grime, streetwear, new fashion labels and a twentieth-anniversary Andy Warhol homage. The rear cover preserves a period Prada advertisement.
Why this object matters
The underage-club, grime, streetwear and MySpace-celebrity coverage gives the Offspring issue substantial original youth-culture evidence beyond its Ward cover. Retain Gold at 9.1, with complete physical collation still unclaimed.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
