Catalogue note
i-D No. 272, December 2006 / January 2007, The Older and Wiser Issue, with Cassie Ventura and P. Diddy photographed by Magnus Unnar. The issue captures Cassie's 2006 emergence through Bad Boy Records and early social-media/MySpace visibility while framing youth culture through ageing and continuity: the supplied contents page revisits happy hardcore, profiles long-standing London club figure Princess Julia, includes Grace Coddington and Hysteric Glamour, pays tribute to Judy Blame, and features Thurston Moore, Terry Richardson and former i-D fashion editor Caryn Franklin. The rear preserves a period Dolce & Gabbana Jewels advertisement.
Why this object matters
The happy-hardcore retrospective, Princess Julia and Judy Blame material give this issue substantive scene-history value. The cover documents a period music-industry framing, but celebrity association alone does not support 9.4. Remove Gold and retain outstanding 8.8.
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.
