2005 marks the 25th anniversary of i-D Magazine.
To celebrate, the Fashion and Textile Museum is proud to announce the forthcoming launch of an ambitious and comprehensive touring exhibition directed and curated by Terry Jones, the magazine's founder, creative director and editor-in-chief.
The exhibition will visit Paris, Tokyo, New York, Sao Paulo, Hong Kong and Beijing throughout 2006 and encompass five decades of cutting-edge creativity traced through i-D's rich archive, from its beginnings in 1980 to the present day.
Reinforcing the magazine's position as the founder of all style magazines, it will also capture the essence of i-D, whose premise from its conception has been to empower people to express their own ideas and their individual identity.
"The revolutionary aesthetic and philosophy of i-D Magazine have provided us with a bold monitor of our times" says Gity Monsef, Creative Director of FTM.
"The Fashion and Textile Museum is proud to be collaborating with i-D for this seminal exhibition which will chart the 25-year history of our most visionary style publication."
The exhibition will use "identity" as a central theme and explore this concept in its myriad of forms.
Appealing to all five senses on a multi-dimensional level, it will do so with the use of still images, short films, 3-D sound,

Puma makes its most recent footprint in the sneaker marketplace with the release of the limited edition Roma JD.
As one of the brand’s premiere athletes, baseball star Johnny Damon will now have his own lifestyle shoe based on one of Puma’s most well known styles, the Roma.
Made in the center fielder’s team colors, the red, white and blue suede Roma JD feature “Johnny D” and his number “18” on the outside quarter.
Damon’s well-known face and signature will reside on the sock bed lining of the shoe.
The sleek, low profile shoe reflects Johnny’s laid back nature while the personalized details celebrate his individual style.
As part of the release of the Roma JD, Puma North America will make a contribution to UNICEF on behalf of Johnny Damon.
Damon, who is part Thai, chose UNICEF because of their efforts to help those affected by last year’s tsunami.
Produced in a limited quantity of only 200 pairs, the Roma JD is sold at three select retailers for $80 from July 13.
The Puma Concept store in Boston (333 Newbury Street), www.puma.com, and The Tannery (11A Brattle Street, Cambridge), will be the three exclusive retailers selling the limited edition shoes.
At each location, there is a limit of one pair per customer.

Jewelry designers Nak Armstrong and Anthony Camargo are one of ten finalists nominated by the Council of Fashion Designers and Vogue Magazine for the second annual CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund awards.
Chosen by a committee of industry representatives, Armstrong and Camargo are thrilled to be nominated amongst a group of superb designers.
Their innovative and inimitable collections have continued to revolutionize the jewelry industry; they have blurred the distinction between jewelry and fashion and challenged industry standards by boldly breaking with established tradition.
Every single piece designed by this duo pays respect to their artistic philosophy: the marriage of architecture, sculpture, history, movement and unadulterated luxury.
With that said, it comes as no surprise that Anthony Nak Fine Jewelry is the only accessory line to be nominated for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Award.
A testament to their uniqueness and unwavering commitment to excellence, Camargo and Armstrong see this nomination as, "the icing on the cake".
However, it goes duly noted that although 2005 has been a great year for the pair, there is still more work to be done and more boundaries to transcend.
The summer of 2005 has been monumental for Armstrong and Camargo.
In June, the Texas design duo was awarded with the CFDA Swarovski
