For the launch of i-D Asia we’re diving into the archives of i-D Japan, one of our first outposts in the region. Here, we flashback to the 2017 cover story of i-D Japan No. 3 The Break Silence Issue.
Although this story was shot for as the cover feature for i-D Japan No. 3 ‘The Break Silence Issue’ back in 2017 it has some surprising parallels with today’s isolation situation. Photographed by Daniel Jackson, it features models Rina and Manami lounging about in a mix of emotions from bored to stir-crazed — something we can all relate to right now. Throughout the series they wear starry-eyed beauty looks by Peter Philips and are all dressed up with nowhere to go thanks to fashion direction by Alastair McKimm. It’s all the inspiration you’ll need before raiding your wardrobe and makeup kit, throwing together a top notch look and settling in for a party for one.
