For October 2010, you can collect five different covers for the i-D magazine 'Define Yourself' issue. Models Kristen McMenamy, Kiya Kebede, Lindsey Wixson, Daisy Lowe and Joan Smalls each get their own turn to shine and show a little personality. Danielle Duella and Iango Henzi, Emma Summerton and Marcel Door were charged with capturing these fine beauties.

The five covers alternate between colour and black and white and vary in their style. The 'Define Yourself' issue encourages readers to "think different" and "break the rules." Whether or not you heed this advice however, is up to you.
