The Just Kids Issue is available to buy from i-D online here and on newsstands now.
i-D kick starts the new season with a celebration of what it means to be young today. Youth isn’t determined by what age you are. Nor what stage of life you’re in. It isn’t to do with experience, nor responsibilities. Feeling youthful is finding joy and pleasure in everything you do, whatever your age.
For a collaborative shoot published across i-D and Modern Weekly, photographer Chen Man celebrates youth in China for The Just Kids Issue. Looking to the future of the burgeoning superpower, she photographs a selection of young people who demonstrate the diversity of industry, sport and culture across her native country. Three such rising stars are Chen Yunxia, Li Jia and Guo Yupei, all of whom wink from the cover of The Just Kids Issue. The future’s bright. The future’s China.
