Catalogue note
Fall 2010 i-D No. 309, The Define Yourself Issue, with the Kristen McMenamy cover photographed by Daniele + Iango and the cover line “conforming is boring.” The issue identifies itself as the second part of i-D's 30th-anniversary trilogy and as Holly Shackleton's first issue as editor. Its editorial framing explicitly looks back to i-D's roots while using age, identity and self-definition as themes. This copy also completes the three-part 30th-anniversary sequence in TMR alongside No. 308 and No. 310.
Why this object matters
McMenamy's Define Yourself cover and Shackleton's first editor issue provide outstanding evidence of an editorial transition within the anniversary trilogy. The complete held trilogy improves comparison but does not independently make each issue exceptional. Place this above its more representative companion No. 310 and below the larger portrait project of No. 308.
Evidence limits: No new physical inspection or collation was performed. Copy-specific conclusions remain limited to the retained catalogue and accession evidence.
