In Episode 4 of the i-Dentity podcast, we’re joined by fashion designer and subculture connoisseur Martine Rose, known around the world for her distinctly London vision. Martine discusses her extraordinary career, unconventional upbringing in South London, and why subculture and nightlife will always be a focus of her work. “The feeling that I get on the dance floor hasn't changed. It's completely electrifying. I still feel like a 14-year-old standing outside of Strawberry Sundae. It genuinely feels like that.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, we’re back with none other than James ‘Jeanette’ Main, the former Boombox host and East London nightlife legend. In the mid-2000s, he became the so-called ‘door girl’ for Richard Mortimer’s Sunday evening club night Boombox, known by the moniker of ‘Jeanette’. One of a handful of nights in the East End, it sparked a renaissance in queer London nightlife and marked a shift in the city’s creative centre, playing host to fashion designers, musicians, artists, art students — and indeed the occasional icon — who all had to pass Jeanette to get to the dancefloor.As he puts it: “Subculture is doing what you can’t help not do, doing what is burning inside you, and finding others who have the same burning desire as you.” Hosted on Acast.

We talk all things scumbro. We discuss the rise of the trend – one that has seen Justin Bieber, Jonah Hill and Pete Davidson heralded as style icons for dressing like teenage slackers. We figure out what it says about the world today and where it fits in the wider embrace of irony within fashion. And we consider whether the bubble has already burst, with the news that Justin Bieber has shaved his head (!). i-D Arts and Culture Editor Matthew Whitehouse is joined by i-D Deputy Editor Felix Petty and i-D Senior Editor Clem De Pressigny.

In October, we joined forces with London’s iconic V&A for a special photography edition of their Friday Lates and as part of the celebrations, i-D Fashion Features Editor Steve Salter was joined by one of the most exciting image makers working today, south London-born-and-based photographer Campbell Addy. Over the course of an hour long conversation, the pair discussed Campbell’s career and his work on Nii Journal, a biannual arts and culture publication. They talked Campbell’s role within the new start-up generation, those bright young things who have jumped fashion’s impenetrable walls to question what creativity looks like in 2018. And they took questions from the audience, as we learnt more about one of the most authentic voices in fashion now.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
