Star Culture

Dazed & Confused was conceived as an exploration into the language of style culture, a world where identity fuses with image to leave many would-be protagonists dazed and confused as to the results. \n\nD&C magazine has today become a platform for many up-and-coming and established artists, film directors, actors, photographers and fashion gurus. With a strong belief in collaborative journalism that utilizes the format of the two-way interview in its most refined form, it turns the tables on established interview techniques to transform the celebrity profile into a hard-hitting exposé on the nature of fame and creativity. \n\nWith up to 40 interviews with celebrities (Damien Hirst, Jean Baudrillard, Kate Moss, Terry Southern, Isaac Hayes, Noam Chomsky, Bjork and Stockhausen, Lou Reed and Paul Auster, Harmony Korine and Werner Herzog, etc.), the book includes full-page portraits of the personalities featured in the magazine, including photographs by Rankin, Phil Poynter, Martina Hoogland-Ivanhoe, Duane Michals, Dean Chalkley, Andrew Cotterill, Mr Perou, Justin Westover, Jurgen Teller, Mario Testino, Robert Frank, Wolfgang Tillsmans and Dana Lixenberg. The Dazed & Confused collected interviews provide a definitive insight into the style culture of the 1990s, forming a unique and singular portrait of a generation of young artists alongside their more established antecedents.
