Simon Foxton's i-D archive:
Order your copy hereThe story of many stylists is tied up with the formative decade of i-D in the 1980s, but few have had such a lasting impact on both the magazine and the wider fashion world as Simon Foxton.
It was never done with a political aim in mind. It was a no brainer. We cast the people that we thought looked good, white or Black or Asian or whatever, you know. When I left Saint Martins, in my degree show, I used all Black models on the runway. That caused a sensation, which surprised me at the time because I didn’t think it was that big a deal. I’m not sure any of it was done with provocation in mind.I’ve written recently about some of my experiences around race within the industry.
This page: Photography Nick Knight. Model Kate. The Jet Set Issue, no.32, December/January 1986. Opposite page: Photography Nick Knight. Model Tess. The Good Sport Issue, no.47, May 1987.Exactly. Edward modelled. He was assisting me at the time and he helped with the casting; they’re mostly friends of his. We shot in Ealing around where I live. It’s now in the Tate and in the V&A collections and I’m very proud of that shoot. It felt like we’d done something important.
I remember when we first met, doing a shoot at ShowStudio, but actually saying that I can’t remember which shoot it was.At the time everyone was like ‘Ooh, wow, you’re doing that for ShowStudio with Simon Foxton?’ It was the best thing that could have ever happened in my life. I remember, after the shoot and I’d finished modelling, I emailed you about possibly assisting and you responded saying you were in Paris and you’d get back to me.
Photography Jason Evans. Models Sam, David, Edward, Kojo, Ben, John, Louis, Christopher and Michael. The High Summer Issue, no.94, July 1991.Is there a moment during your time working in the fashion industry, especially working with i-D, that you really felt like it intersected with popular culture? You hear so many people go, ‘Oh, no, there’s no creativity anymore’. But well, actually, maybe you just have to try a bit harder.Do you think people were more creative then?
