i-D No. 374
The Unknown Issue · Enza Khoury cover · Spring/Summer 2025
i-D No. 374, The Unknown Issue, Spring/Summer 2025, with Enza Khoury on the principal new-face cover. The issue marked i-D’s return to UK newsstands and the beginning of Thom Bettridge’s print editorship. i-D and Jennifer Venditti conducted a nationwide US search and selected 18-year-old Ohio high-school student and aspiring actor Enza Khoury from hundreds of candidates. The concept deliberately reconnects the relaunched magazine with i-D’s historic role in turning unknown faces into cultural figures.

Why this object matters
Gold Star. This later i-D earns 9+ through issue-specific publishing history: No.374 was the title’s long-awaited return to UK newsstands, Thom Bettridge’s launch issue, and a deliberate re-engagement with Terry Jones’s discovery/DIY ethos. The Enza Khoury cover is especially important because the unknown-cover-star casting process is the editorial concept itself. Companion Naomi Campbell and FKA twigs covers connect 2025’s unknown to earlier i-D discoveries in 1986 and 2012, making this a statement about the magazine’s legacy and future.
