For Fall 2011, i-D Magazine offers four different covers for its Dreams and Aspirations issue and who better to inspire dreams than Carine Roitfeld? As shot by Terry Richardson, La Roitfeld winks out at us in her own special way, by covering one eye with her namesake "Carine" clutch. Reportedly she will also share her aspirations in an interview in the magazine. Others featured inside: Lara Stone photographed by David Bailey, Abbey Lee by Richard Bush, Fei Fei Sun, and the muses of Richard Nicoll including Josephine de la Baume, Louise Gray, Roksanda Ilincic, Lulu Kennedy, Sara Blomqvist, Sarah Mower and his mother. The issue appears on newsstands on 21 September.

"This place looks like it could be in a Cassavetes film, no? I wanted to dress and look like a Cassavetes woman, so I went for vintage tonight. I would love to be a Cassavetes actress tonight. And singer... I'm going to sing."
"I hope you had fun and you were irreverent tonight. That's what this party was all about."

Special thanks to Kate Ringo Suzuki and Beth Terry for sharing their photographs of the windows. I have heard mixed responses to the "Carine's World" display, what do you think?
