It is not about the latest ‘it’ bag or must-have accessory of the season, it is not about which celebrity was the best-dressed at last week’s awards ceremony or who has committed a serious fashion faux-pas. It is fully about redefining the status quo and challenging our conception of beauty - it is the one and the only Dazed magazine.
Edgy, fearless, alternative and breaking the mould one stylish issue at a time - Dazed is the British style magazine that has been stepping outside of the ordinary since it was first published in London, 1991. Founding editors, Jefferson Hack and fashion photographer John Rankin Waddell, came together as the ultimate dream team to create one of the most groundbreaking independent fashion and culture magazines the world has ever seen.
Throughout their wild venture beyond the traditional, Dazed has become famously known for delivering some of the most powerful, striking and artistic magazine covers to date - and a first choice decor item for sprucing up your average coffee table! Whether fabulous icons such as Kate Moss, David Bowie or Vivienne Westwood (to name a few) were gracing the cover or topics of feminism were being addressed head-on with model Milla Jovovich famously posing and exposing her unshaven armpit hair on the front page - there has always been a powerful message and story to be told within every issue of Dazed magazine.
With independence as their super weapon and 20-somethings as their army, Dazed magazine battles the norm and uses creativity to constantly empower young people of today. It is more than just a fashion and culture title - it is a movement.
Sneak Peek…
Whether you go digital or tangible, you are guaranteed to rest your eyes upon the cover photo for just a few moments longer than you would any other. As you lay your gaze at the first series of pages, you quickly discover the extent to which art is combined with fashion. Every fashion advert has its quirky edge, artistic flair and different angle to what you would normally expect to see in your average fashion glossy. Stunning adverts of all your high-end fashion favourites like Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent or Dior appear to be slightly more avant-garde and cutting-edge - fully adopted to the ‘Dazed style’.
Flick past the index and enter a world of alternative style and culture. Where fascinating subjects of fashion, film, music, art, literature and politics decorate the 200 plus pages. Forget about following the “A-listers”, with Dazed magazine it’s all about who’s on-the-rise. From actors to artists and filmmakers to writers, Dazed magazine brings together a community of global tastemakers and the ones who have something to say.
Feed your mind with thought-provoking articles and inspiring profiles from the up-and-comers who might be just like you! But, be warned, Dazed is as raw and as real as it gets - if there’s a pressing subject to be spoken about, you can bet for sure that Dazed magazine will be the first to address it.
After all, Dazed didn’t become the first magazine to celebrate a drag cover star (Pearl Liaison from RuPaul's Drag Race tv series) for nothing. They did it because they had a powerful message to share and a community of youth to empower and inspire.
