Dazed (Dazed & Confused until February 2014) is a bi-monthly British style magazine founded in 1991. It covers music, fashion, film, art, and literature. Dazed is published by Dazed Media, an independent media group known for producing stories across its print, digital and video brands. The company's portfolio includes titles AnOther, Dazed Beauty and NOWNESS. The company's newest division, Dazed Studio, creates brand campaigns across the luxury and lifestyle sectors. Based in London, its founding editors are Jefferson Hack and fashion photographer Rankin. This is in addition to editor-in-chief Ibrahim Kamara, editorial director Kacion Mayers, art director Gareth Wrighton and fashion director Imruh Asha. Beyond its UK headquarters, today Dazed also holds offices in Korea and China.[2]

Background

Dazed was begun[3] by Jefferson Hack, and Rankin while they were studying at London College of Printing (now London College of Communications).[4] Beginning as a black-and-white folded poster[5] the magazine soon turned full colour and was promoted at London club nights. The Norwegian photographer and later Hells Angel Marcel Leliënhof [6] was involved with the magazine in the first editions, as was the stylist Katie Grand.

Today it is an independent youth culture magazine, distributed globally, covering fashion, art, music and lifestyle. There has been some discussion regarding the choice of title, but it is generally considered to have been inspired by the Led Zeppelin song of the same name.

While Dazed continues to work with different brands today with events such as conferences, receptions and workshops, a few of the famous brands they have worked with includes Adidas, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Calvin Klein, Chanel, Burberry, Nike, YouTube, Prada, and Off-White. [7]
