i-D Beauty Zine – Spring 2026

A Coffee Table Mags pick for those who see beauty as identity, not just aesthetics — i-D’s first dedicated beauty print is exactly as uncompromising as you’d expect.

The i-D Beauty Zine is the iconic fashion and culture publication’s first-ever dedicated print beauty manifesto. 

Led by Editor-in-Chief Thom Bettridge and beauty editor Marcelo Gutierrez, the biannual zine redefines beauty through the lens of identity, art, and self-expression.

The inaugural Spring 2026 issue stars South African musician Tyla on the cover, celebrating her cultural heritage. The issue features six intimate FaceTime interviews with stars ranging from Hayley Williams to Martha Stewart.

The 50-page print edition reimagines i-D’s classic "Straight-Ups" franchise. Instead of outfits, it focuses on life-size face close-ups of everyday Londoners and experimental makeup visuals.
