Dazed

Dazed is a British independent magazine focused on fashion, art, music, film, politics, and contemporary ideas, founded in 1991 by journalist Jefferson Hack and photographer Rankin (John Rankin Waddell) while they were students at the London College of Printing.^[1] Originally launched as Dazed & Confused as a zine-inspired publication capturing the emerging Britpop and Britart scenes, it quickly evolved into a quarterly print title known for its provocative, youth-oriented content and groundbreaking visuals.^[1] In 2014, the magazine rebranded by shortening its name to Dazed and adopted a bi-monthly schedule before settling into its current quarterly format of four issues per year.^[2]^[3] Published by Dazed Media—an independent company also founded by Hack—the magazine has maintained its reputation as a provocateur in pop culture, featuring influential interviews, photography, and editorials that spotlight emerging talents and cultural shifts.^[4] Under Hack's ongoing role as group editorial director, Dazed has expanded beyond print to include a robust digital platform at dazeddigital.com, which delivers daily content on global trends, and initiatives like the Dazed 100 list highlighting rising cultural figures.^[5] The brand's editorial approach emphasizes independence and innovation, often collaborating with artists, designers, and musicians to challenge mainstream narratives in fashion and lifestyle media.^[1] Over its more than three decades, Dazed has become a cornerstone of alternative media, influencing generations through its coverage of subcultures, political discourse, and creative expression, while adapting to digital eras with apps, newsletters, and regional editions like Dazed MENA for the Middle East and North Africa.^[5] Its commitment to fearless storytelling continues to position it at the bleeding edge of youth culture, with recent issues exploring topics from AI's impact on jobs to high-fashion editorials.^[5]

History and Founding

Origins

Dazed was founded in 1991 by Jefferson Hack, an 18-year-old journalism student, and Rankin Waddell, a 23-year-old photography student, while they were attending the London College of Printing (now the London College of Communication).^[1]^[6] The publication originated as a black-and-white poster-zine, drawing inspiration from the vibrant youth culture and countercultural movements of the era, aiming to capture the raw energy of London's underground scenes.^[1]^[7] The first issue adopted an experimental format characterized by collage-style layouts, eschewing traditional magazine conventions in favor of a DIY aesthetic that blended text, images, and graphics in a chaotic yet intentional manner.^[1] It focused on the emerging music, fashion, and art scenes in early 1990s London, featuring contributions from up-and-coming talents and spotlighting the city's creative fringes.^[1]^[6] The cover boldly declared, “This is not a magazine... Are you ready to be Dazed & Confused?,” setting a tone of irreverence and invitation to alternative perspectives.^[1] Initially distributed for free as a zine among students, local artists, and creative circles in London, Dazed had no formal budget or commercial ambitions, relying instead on grassroots enthusiasm and photocopied production.^[1]^[6] At its core, the publication's mission was to provoke thought and challenge mainstream norms in pop culture, serving as a platform for urban ideas and independent voices that pushed boundaries in fashion, music, and art.^[1]^[7] This foundational ethos laid the groundwork for its evolution into a more structured magazine in the years that followed.^[6]

Early Development

Following its inception as a student-led zine in 1991, Dazed & Confused underwent rapid evolution, transitioning from a single A2 fold-out newsprint to a more structured publication. Starting with issue 2 in 1992, the magazine adopted a quarterly print format, incorporating color elements for the first time and compensating contributors with payments, which professionalized its production and broadened its appeal beyond DIY origins.^[1] This shift allowed for deeper explorations of youth culture while maintaining an experimental edge.^[8] Financially, the early 1990s presented substantial hurdles, as the operation relied on self-funding amid scarce resources and no external backing. Founders Jefferson Hack and Rankin bootstrapped the venture using student union equipment and even borrowed credit cards for shoots, often diverting limited funds to creative pursuits like parties rather than overhead.^[8] Sustainability came from advertising deals with independent brands and revenue from affiliated club nights, such as Blow Up and High and Dry, which generated enough to support the magazine for its first two years.^[9]^[1] The publication distinguished itself through innovative themed issues that reflected subcultural pulses, including explorations of rave culture and grunge aesthetics. A pivotal example was the 1993 music-focused edition, which spotlighted emerging and established artists like Beck, Bono, and David Bowie, helping to position Dazed as a tastemaker in alternative scenes.^[1] This period of innovation drove tangible growth, with circulation expanding from an initial distribution of 5,000 copies to millions by the end of the 1990s, underscoring its emergence as a viable commercial entity.^[10]^[11] The magazine's ability to capture London's creative zeitgeist during this era solidified its role in the independent media landscape.^[1]

Editorial Leadership

Editors-in-Chief

Dazed was co-founded in 1991 by Jefferson Hack and photographer Rankin, with Hack serving as the initial editorial leader and co-editor, steering the magazine toward experimental visuals and a rejection of mainstream "synthetic leisure culture" in favor of avant-garde youth expression.^[12]^[4] Hack's tenure through the mid-1990s established Dazed's reputation for boundary-pushing content, blending fashion, art, and music in innovative layouts that influenced independent media.^[1] Katie Grand, a co-founder, served as fashion director throughout the 1990s, shaping the magazine's fashion coverage from its early issues through collaborations with emerging designers and photographers.^[13]^[14] Callum McGeoch succeeded as editor from 1998 to 2005, during which Dazed doubled its global circulation and expanded internationally with the launch of Dazed Japan in 2002, broadening its appeal to Asian markets.^[15]^[16] Rod Stanley served as editor-in-chief from 2005 to 2012, guiding the publication through a phase of creative experimentation while integrating early digital elements to complement print issues.^[17] Tim Noakes followed from 2012 to 2015, emphasizing digital integration by enhancing Dazed Digital's role in content delivery and spearheading the shift toward multimedia storytelling.^[18]^[19] Isabella Burley then led as editor-in-chief from 2015 to 2021, the youngest in the magazine's history at age 24, further prioritizing digital platforms and diverse cultural narratives.^[1]^[20] Ibrahim Kamara held the position from 2021 to 2025, bringing a focus on global inclusivity and innovative image-making during Dazed's 30th anniversary milestone.^[21] Ted Stansfield assumed the role in June 2025, promoted from editorial director of Dazed Digital and AnOthermag.com, amid an emphasis on nurturing young talent to sustain the magazine's provocative cultural voice.^[22] For international editions, the South Korean version, launched in 2008, maintained continuity in its early years under long-tenured leadership, including editor Na Yoon Ahn (as of 2011), adapting Dazed's ethos to local youth culture.^[23]

Notable Contributors

Rankin, co-founder of Dazed & Confused alongside Jefferson Hack, served as the magazine's primary photographer from its inception in 1991, shaping its visual aesthetic through bold, provocative imagery that blended music, fashion, and youth culture. He captured iconic covers featuring artists like Beck, Bono, and David Bowie, and photographed over 200 editorials between 1991 and 2001, including intimate portraits of emerging icons such as Björk and PJ Harvey that challenged glossy conventions of the era.^[1]^[24]^[25] His contributions extended to collaborative projects, such as the March 2000 issue's eight-cover series with stylist Alister Mackie, which highlighted diverse couples and interracial relationships.^[1] Early issues benefited from contributors like Norwegian photographer Marcel Leliënhof, who provided imagery for the inaugural editions and helped establish the magazine's raw, experimental tone before pursuing other paths.^[26] Emerging talents also found a platform at Dazed, including photographer Juergen Teller, whose raw fashion editorials in the late 1990s and beyond—often subverting glamour with personal, unpolished aesthetics—appeared regularly in the publication and influenced its boundary-pushing style.^[27]^[28] Fashion stylist Simon Foxton contributed to Dazed's menswear coverage through his innovative styling, anticipating trends in British subcultures and punk-inspired looks, as showcased in features that celebrated his role in redefining male silhouettes during the 2000s.^[29] In the 2010s, stylist Ib Kamara made significant pre-editorial contributions, notably his debut fashion story in the winter 2016 issue, photographed by Jamie Morgan in Paris's Château Rouge neighborhood and featuring African club kids to spotlight global youth cultures.^[1] His work emphasized diverse representation, integrating African influences with high fashion to challenge industry norms and elevate underrepresented voices in editorial content.^[30]^[31]

Publication Details

Format and Content

Dazed is published quarterly, with issues released in spring, summer, autumn, and winter, aligning with seasonal themes that explore contemporary youth culture.^[32] Each issue typically comprises 250 to 350 pages, allowing extensive space for in-depth features supported by high-production photography and exclusive interviews with emerging and established figures in creative fields.^[33]^[34] The magazine's core content revolves around fashion editorials that challenge conventional aesthetics, music reviews highlighting innovative artists, film critiques examining boundary-pushing cinema, art features showcasing experimental works, and literature excerpts from avant-garde writers, all with a strong emphasis on youth perspectives and subcultural movements.^[5]^[32] This thematic focus positions Dazed as a platform for provocative ideas, often integrating societal commentary on topics like identity and activism through visually driven narratives.^[35] Signature elements include the annual Dazed 100 list, which ranks 100 influential young creatives across fashion, music, art, and activism, serving as a cultural barometer for emerging talent.^[36] The publication is renowned for its experimental layouts, which seamlessly blend text, typography, and visuals to create immersive, non-linear reading experiences that prioritize artistic expression over traditional formatting.^[37]^[1] Dazed holds the ISSN 2055-2580^[38] and is printed on high-gloss paper stock to enhance the tactile quality of its imagery, with standard dimensions of approximately 9 by 12 inches, though special issues may feature variable sizes for artistic emphasis.^[39]^[2]^[34]

International Editions

Dazed expanded its reach beyond the UK through localized international editions, each adapting its signature blend of fashion, art, music, and youth culture to regional sensibilities while preserving the brand's provocative ethos. The South Korean edition, Dazed Korea, launched in April 2008 and has since established itself as one of the country's premier fashion magazines. It emphasizes K-fashion, emerging designers, and intersections with tech-driven pop culture, frequently featuring K-pop idols and innovative streetwear trends. Ongoing issues, such as the Spring 2025 edition, continue to highlight local talents alongside global influences, maintaining quarterly print releases.^[40]^[41] In China, Dazed launched its edition in late August 2019 through a partnership with streetwear publisher Yoho! and backed by C Ventures, targeting urban youth with content on contemporary trends, subcultures, and avant-garde style. The publication emphasized the dynamic energy of China's young creatives amid rapid urbanization. However, it paused operations around 2022 due to financial challenges faced by Yoho! during the COVID-19 pandemic, with its social media activity ceasing shortly thereafter.^[42]^[43] The Japan edition, known as Dazed & Confused Japan, ran from 2002 to 2010, producing issues that integrated local fashion and cultural narratives during a period of growing interest in global youth media. Archival copies from this era, including anniversary editions, reflect adaptations to Japanese aesthetics and pop influences.^[44] More recently, Dazed MENA debuted in winter 2024 as the first youth-focused fashion and culture magazine dedicated to the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, and Central Asia, published in partnership with ITP Media Group. Led by Editor-in-Chief Ahmad Swaid, alongside Creative Director Chndy and Fashion Director Omaima Salem, it covers 22 countries and spotlights regional art, activism, music, and politics through untold stories of Arab and North African communities. The edition challenges stereotypes with disruptive editorials, such as features on Gaza parkour artists and Palestinian writer Mohammed El-Kurd, while incorporating region-specific covers and collaborations to amplify local voices.^[45]^[46] Across these editions, Dazed employs adaptation strategies like commissioning local photographers, stylists, and contributors for culturally resonant content, often blending English with regional languages to ensure accessibility and fidelity to the brand's boundary-pushing style.^[47]

Digital Platforms

Dazed Digital

Dazed Digital launched in November 2006 as a companion website to the print edition of Dazed magazine, initially serving as a platform for web-exclusive articles and multimedia content.^[48] With a dedicated editorial and video team from the outset, it focused on delivering timely coverage of fashion, culture, music, and art, marking one of the early digital extensions for independent print publications in the UK.^[49] Throughout the 2010s, the platform evolved significantly, transitioning from periodic updates to daily content production, often exceeding 15 new pieces per day by 2014.^[50] This expansion enabled real-time reporting on breaking news across music, fashion, and politics, positioning Dazed Digital as a dynamic online hub for youth culture and emerging trends.^[51] Leadership saw key transitions in 2021, when Ib Kamara was appointed editor-in-chief, a role he held until stepping down in 2025 after four years that emphasized diverse voices and social issues in fashion and media.^[52] Concurrently, Lynette Nylander joined as executive editorial director from 2021 to 2024, overseeing digital strategy and content innovation during a period of heightened global engagement.^[52]^[53] Following Kamara, Ted Stansfield assumed the editor-in-chief position in 2025.^[47] The site distinguishes itself through multimedia features, including extensive video series on fashion breakdowns, music interviews, and cultural reports; podcasts like Dazed and Discoursed, which explores internet-driven topics; and interactive elements such as timelines and galleries that enhance user immersion in stories.^[54]^[55]^[51] By 2025, Dazed Digital had cultivated a substantial global audience, generating 116 million monthly impressions and attracting millions of unique visitors, reflecting its reach among 18- to 34-year-olds interested in provocative, boundary-pushing content.^[47]^[56]

Dazed Beauty

Dazed Beauty is a digital platform launched by Dazed on September 5, 2018, as a community-driven space dedicated to redefining beauty norms beyond traditional commercial standards, emphasizing creativity, self-expression, and identity.^[57]^[58] The platform seeks to challenge conventional beauty narratives by exploring its transformational power through diverse lenses, including gender, race, and experimental forms.^[59] Launched under the editorial leadership of founding editor-in-chief Bunny Kinney, who initially collaborated with creative director Isamaya Ffrench and art director Ben Ditto, Dazed Beauty curates inclusive content that amplifies underrepresented voices and pushes boundaries in beauty discourse.^[60] This approach fosters a space where beauty is viewed not as a product but as a medium for personal and cultural rebellion. The platform features exclusive exhibitions and essays that highlight innovative and historical dimensions of beauty. For instance, the "Aerosol Couture" exhibition, a surreal special effects (SFX) showcase by artist Mab held in November 2025 at 66 Greene in Soho, New York, transformed the body into a canvas using airbrushing and body paint to explore experimental aesthetics.^[61] Complementing this, historical essays delve into beauty as a form of protest, such as the Suffragettes' adoption of red lipstick in the early 20th century as a symbol of defiance and solidarity during their fight for voting rights.^[62] Dazed Beauty integrates user-generated content to build its community, encouraging submissions via social media and the Dazed Club app, where members share photos, videos, and ideas to co-create beauty explorations.^[63] Collaborations with artists further enhance this, as seen in SFX and body art projects that blend user input with professional surrealism, promoting interactive narratives on identity and experimentation.^[61]

Cultural Impact

Influence on Fashion and Media

Dazed has played a pivotal role in pioneering alternative fashion by providing early platforms for emerging designers who challenged conventional aesthetics. In the 1990s, the magazine spotlighted avant-garde talents from London's Central Saint Martins, including Alexander McQueen, whose provocative designs were featured prominently from his early career. A landmark example is the 1998 issue guest-edited by McQueen, titled "Fashion Able?", which showcased Paralympian Aimee Mullins on the cover in prosthetic legs paired with McQueen's tailoring, highlighting disability and fashion in a groundbreaking way that influenced broader industry discussions on inclusivity and innovation.^[1]^[64] This early advocacy, led by co-founder Jefferson Hack, empowered a generation of designers and helped transition underground experimentation into mainstream recognition, as evidenced by the British Fashion Council's 2022 Special Recognition Award to Hack for his tastemaking influence.^[65] Beyond fashion, Dazed has functioned as an incubator for media creatives, often described as a "school" that nurtures talent through hands-on opportunities and creative autonomy. Since its inception, it has trained influential figures such as stylist Nicola Formichetti, editor IB Kamara, and photographer Gareth Wrighton, who gained formative experience at the magazine before shaping global brands like Vogue and Louis Vuitton. This mentorship model has produced generations of professionals who carry Dazed's boundary-pushing ethos into major publications and agencies, fostering a network that amplifies experimental storytelling across the industry.^[1] In the 2010s, Dazed contributed to cultural shifts by normalizing diverse representations in fashion and media, emphasizing intersectional identities through editorial choices and campaigns. Features on young women of color, queer artists, and non-binary models helped elevate underrepresented voices, aligning with broader industry moves toward inclusion while critiquing tokenism in luxury branding. Post-2020, the magazine intensified its engagement with radical politics, as seen in guest-edited issues like the 2020 "Read Up, Act Up" edition curated by rapper Noname, which focused on abolitionist movements, prison reform, and anti-racist activism, amplifying grassroots dialogues amid global protests.^[66]^[1]^[67] Dazed's digital expansion has extended its global reach, mainstreaming subcultures by documenting and disseminating them to a worldwide audience. Through Dazed Digital, launched in the early 2000s, the platform has chronicled the evolution of scenes like rave culture—from underground UK warehouse parties in the 1990s to contemporary festival phenomena—via immersive features, photography, and reports that bridge niche communities with broader pop culture. This coverage, including explorations of digital raves during the COVID-19 era and reports like "Redefining Subcultures" in 2025, has helped integrate subcultural elements into global fashion trends and media narratives, reaching millions and influencing youth movements across continents.^[1]^[68]^[69]

Notable Features and Recognition

One of Dazed's signature recurring features is the annual Dazed 100 list, launched in 2015, which spotlights 100 emerging talents redefining youth culture across fields such as fashion, music, art, beauty, and activism.^[36] The list has evolved to include region-specific editions, such as the inaugural Dazed 100 MENA in 2024, celebrating creatives from the Middle East and North Africa, and the first Dazed 100 US in 2024, highlighting innovators in the United States.^[70] In 2025, the list marked its 10th anniversary.^[71] Past honorees have included influential figures like FKA twigs, Virgil Abloh, Lil Nas X, and Greta Thunberg, underscoring the list's role in identifying and amplifying boundary-pushing voices.^[72] Dazed has produced several iconic special issues that capture pivotal cultural moments, with the Autumn 2021 edition marking the magazine's 30th anniversary standing out for its exploration of "dynamic chaos" and visions of future worlds amid global upheaval.^[1] Featuring Rihanna on multiple covers in a shoot by Rafael Pavarotti, the issue delved into themes of reinvention and resilience, including features on emerging global music scenes like Palestine's Radio Alhara and new metal acts in Montreal, while reflecting on post-2021 recovery and creative renewal.^[73] This edition exemplified Dazed's commitment to forward-looking storytelling, blending archival reflections with contemporary provocations. The magazine has garnered significant recognition for its innovative approach, including honors from the British Fashion Council, where co-founder Jefferson Hack received the Special Recognition Award in 2022 for empowering emerging talent and shaping youth culture through Dazed.^[65] The 2024 launch of Dazed MENA, the first youth-focused fashion and culture magazine for the Middle East and North Africa in partnership with ITP Media Group, further highlighted Dazed's global expansion and editorial boldness, debuting with nine covers and content championing regional creatives.^[74] Key collaborations have cemented Dazed's legacy, notably the 2021 Rizzoli publication Dazed: 30 Years Confused: The Covers, a 288-page hardcover compiling 200 iconic covers from the magazine's history, with contributions from figures like Björk, Vivienne Westwood, and Tyler Mitchell.^[75] This book, released to coincide with the 30th anniversary, chronicled Dazed's evolution from a 1991 zine to a multimedia powerhouse, emphasizing its influence on fashion and pop culture.^[76]

Dazed Media Group

Dazed Media Group, formerly known as Dazed Group, was incorporated on August 17, 2004, as the publishing entity supporting the Dazed magazine, with its headquarters in London.^[77]^[78] The group owns several sister titles, including the biannual fashion and culture publication Another Magazine, launched in 2001, and the video platform Nowness, in which it acquired a majority stake through a joint venture in 2017.^[79]^[80]^[81] It operates on a business model that prioritizes editorial independence, generating revenue primarily through advertising, branded content, events, and partnerships that align with its focus on youth culture and creativity.^[78]^[82] As of 2025, the group employs over 100 staff globally and has increasingly emphasized ethical media practices, including coverage of diversity, sustainability, and inclusive representation in fashion and culture following 2020.^[83]^[84]^[85]^[86]

Dazed Studio

Dazed Studio serves as the creative agency division of Dazed Media, functioning as an in-house entity dedicated to producing branded content that integrates youth culture with commercial storytelling. Established to leverage Dazed's longstanding influence in fashion, art, and media, it operates as a multidisciplinary studio emphasizing innovative strategies for brands seeking to engage younger audiences.^[87]^[88] The studio provides a range of services, including insights and strategy development, social storytelling, branded entertainment production, creative and editorial direction, talent curation, and experiential events. These offerings enable brands to create immersive, culture-shaping campaigns that extend beyond traditional advertising. For instance, Dazed Studio produced the report "2031: A Future World" in collaboration with adidas, which examines evolving cultural trends such as digital beauty experiments, transhumanism, and biohacking through data from Dazed's audience and expert insights.^[89]^[90] Other projects highlight its experiential focus, such as the "Hinge: No Ordinary Love" campaign in 2024 and the "Smirnoff x Troye Sivan: Go Off" activation, both recognized with multiple awards for their cultural resonance.^[91] Dazed Studio has partnered with luxury brands like Gucci on high-profile initiatives, including the "Absolute Beginners" film series, where emerging filmmakers directed shorts featuring the brand's collections, and the "Cub3d" campaign, which creatively directed content for the launch of Gucci's Cub3d sneaker line. These collaborations blend Dazed's editorial aesthetics—rooted in provocative, boundary-pushing visuals—with commercial objectives, fostering authentic connections with global youth communities. Additional clients such as Nike, Burberry, and Off-White underscore the studio's role in generating diverse revenue streams through branded entertainment by 2025.^[92]^[93]^[94]
