Celebrating 30 years of Dazed’s boundary-pushing storytelling at the forefront of youth culture, this book reveals the past, present, and future of Dazed through its bold cover designs and manifesto-like headlines.

In 1991, the first issue of Dazed & Confused was released as a single A2 foldout newsprint by a then 20-year-old Jefferson Hack and the photographer Rankin. Now, 30 years later, what began as a print magazine has gone on to provoke a change in consciousness, becoming a vital cultural manifesto for today. Created for an audience that wants to be both informed and inspired to imagine, its radical approach to publishing means that Dazed is still at the forefront of youth culture today. Split into ten chapters—taken from the magazine’s most memorable cover lines—this book explores how these early manifestos reflect the magazine’s ethos today. Time-traveling from the ’90s to now, a new generation of image makers sit side by side with archival materials to showcase how Dazed has always interpreted celebrity through its own boundary-pushing lens: from Alexander McQueen and David Bowie’s first official, recorded conversation and the designer’s “Fashion-Able?” cover, to a rare appearance and guest-edit by Chelsea Manning, to rapper Young Thug shot by Harley Weir.

Nice To Meet Ya is out (as foretold, a banger!), the video is out (featuring one model and one hoe; both are Niall, and it's filmed at a place called the Tramp club mhmm I see you Niall) and like that wasn't enough the video has got puzzles and clues! There are a couple of phone numbers in the video- if you call the first one you get through to Niall talking to you about another song on the album, Small Talk (apparently ALSO about being a hoe- NH2 theme??) and a snippet! At the second number he tells us that the video contains four song titles from the album- they are Small Talk, Still, Heartbreak Weather, and No Judgement. More speculative, are there clues showing that the album will be out March 6 2020? The 2020 part is pretty clear and the date fits with what he's saying ("Feb or March") but as for the exact date I guess we'll see. Also- is Heartbreak Weather the Khalid collab? This speculation is based on the title and the rain emojis they used to talk about the collab back when they teased it. The phone numbers used also serve as a data mining thing, so if you call(ed) rather than listening to the recordings online, look for text spam from Niall's label in the future....

NTMY trended, along with the special cute little floating Niall head twitter emoji. Niall headed out with a gang of pals last night and when the song came out they all posted about it and he reposted them, all very cozy. From promo things that have aired so far: he tattooed 'nice to melt meet ya' on Roman Kemp (it's not that bad tbh), said the one line is in French because that way it rhymes and also "is sexier", he's played Liam's clip about him being on the fence all the time in 1D days, is offended and like 'that's not true! It was really like....' and then proceeds to say exactly what someone who refused to take a side in things would say. He says the band didn't argue, really, just bickering and that he's still very close to all the boys and always will be and he sees them a lot. He also says he's geographically close to Harry, that he lives "around the corner" from him, which people who remembered the time a couple years ago when he said he lived right up the street from Louis found... interesting. I mean wtf city is he even talking about but sure. We have yet to rise back to 'lovers' status but he does say he "loves us all so much" and call us "you sexy lot" so I mean that's kind of the same right?

Rumors ft Zayn is also out, and there's a lyric video for it (very cool vintage aesthetic.) Zayn posted the cover (a sexy pic of Sabrina Claudio) with a stick figure drawn on it and an arrow saying "me," then liked a comment saying "u look so good in this!" Lol bless him.

Another Louis date announced! He's playing the Live. Life. Love. concert in Nashville Tennessee Nov 30 (tickets on sale Oct 11 /presale the 10th). It's a benefit for a suicide prevention non profit, and will be one of two shows he'll play that week with Lizzo.

Harry followed a set designer who worked on the exhibit he went to yesterday and Sony posted a watermarked manip of him with a puppy. Credit your repost Sony! He headed out this evening looking extremely pretty and stylish in a slim cut suit (previously seen at the Dunkirk premier), red boots (that say 'Sucker' on the back, yeah, those boots) and unreasonably perfect hair. He went to an art show and was photographed (#notamanip) with the curator, Jefferson Hack. Hack is also the CEO of Dazed media which puts out Another Man magazine among other things.
