About the editor:
Tricia Jones started her career as an infant school teacher, teaching from 1968-85. Involved from the very beginning of the i-D story as the “maker of pasta” looking after the students who worked on the earliest issues of i-D, her role changed and developed as the magazine grew. Tricia began working as editor of special projects for i-D in 1998 with Family Future Positive. Since 1988 Tricia has also acted as producer on Instant Design’s promotions and advertising campaigns including Bogner’s Fire & Ice, Yohji Yamamoto’s Y’s and Y-3, and more recently Emperor Moth from Moscow.
