The iconic i-D magazine recently relaunched their website, having been purchased by a certain controversial and divisive free publication and media company (the clue is in the domain name). Among the editorials, street-style photographs and model profiles are a couple of interesting interviews that you won't need to bother going to the newsagents for. Why leave your house anyway? Just put something on the stereo, maybe that 6 Feet Beneath the Moon record you've been pretending you're not that impressed by, and read this interview with it's creator Archy Marshall. A spokesperson for overachieving young gingers everywhere.

Words

While I'm not usually a fan of items relying on irony and irreverence as their design statement, there is something about this bandana – emblazoned with a graphic of Richard Nixon in all his "I am not a crook" glory – that is quite interesting.

—01-04. Navy and Heather Grey.

Words

Pretty much the most appealing thing I've seen online for a minute. It could be because it's cold now, or perhaps it's the iconic C badge on the sleeve, or even that the waffle pattern reminds me of two of America's greatest inventions: Vans footwear and brunch. Whatever the reason, both colourways would make for an easy and regular addition to anyone's winter wardrobe.

The simplicity of this interpretation of the Duralex picardie glass, rendered in pottery by Ryota Aoki, is absolutely beautiful. It makes for a very elegant and interesting cup that comes in three sizes.
