Dazed and Confused


Dazed and Confused is a magazine in the UK published for young adults. It is a strong, successful independent magazine that has been running for 12 years. The creators were working for another magazine in the early 90's and realized that the company was oblivious to the talent and creativity that was emerging all around them. They branched off and created this magazine that went beyond the sacred trinity of fashion, music and film. They broadened their scope to include art and literature as well as social and political issues in the community and worldwide. Their stories include underground youth movements, young up and coming talents, new trends, interviews and inspiring stories with journalistic quality. They review new technologies and cover campaigns and overall try to educate and inspire youth. Dazed has an artistic edge; they are always featuring bold new designers, captivating photography, and new trends in music and fashion. The magazine often holds contests and presents awards to their readers, which often kick starts careers for these young people.

During a time when many magazines are struggling, Dazed and Confused has had five years of continuous growth. It is one of the most successful independent publications today. It's a great magazine focusing on art, culture, upcoming talent, and poignant issues.
