Dazed and confused
is a British style magazine that was set up in 1992 and put out monthly. Its
founding editors were Jefferson Hack and fashion photographer Rankin. The
subjects that are covered take in fashion, music, art, film and literature.
With the fall
of both The Face and Sleazenation, Dazed & Confused now lies along old
rival i-D.

Beginning as
a black-and-white folded poster published sporadically, the magazine soon
turned full colour, promoted with London club nights.
This
reputation attracted cover stars such as Richard E. Grant (issue #11), Jarvis
Cocker (issue #15) long-time collaborator Björk (#16) and Radiohead's Thom
Yorke interviewing himself in issue #19.
Throughout
the 1990s the magazine's format evolved. Among its many international magazine
cover firsts Dazed counts Alicia Keys (June 2001, #78;[1] on page 6), Jake
Gyllenhaal (#98), Hilary Swank (#64), Eminem (#66) and Pharrell (#101).
The magazine
has also supported social causes and encouraged debate with issues such as its
1998 Fashion-Able issue (#46) and 2004's South Africa issue (#115), the former
dealing with perceptions of beauty and disability and the latter with the state
of the country ten years after apartheid and the AIDS crisis throughout Africa.
In 2006 Dazed & Confused joined forces with MySpace to support RED and
World AIDS Day by encouraging the public to submit artwork and pledge their
support to join the (RED) initiative.
