Catalogue note
i-D No. 288, June 2008, The Hot Beaches Issue, with Mariah Carey photographed by Vincent Peters. The issue sits at the intersection of global pop/R&B celebrity and British fashion publishing, while its cover and documented contents connect Mariah Carey with Naomi Campbell, Jourdan Dunn, Amy Winehouse, Judy Blame, Bruce Weber and Edward Enninful. The rear preserves a period American Apparel 'Still Shining' shiny Lamé advertisement.
Why this object matters
The Peters/Carey cover and Blame/Weber/Enninful context make an outstanding pop-fashion issue. The documented contents do not establish a separate Gold-level landmark; reduce to 8.8 while retaining its original photographic value.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
Score and assessment method
Archive Importance: 8.8 / 10.
This is a curatorial judgement, not a measurement accurate to one tenth or a market valuation. Read the explanation and its evidence limits together.
