ISSUE 178

The new Dazed & Confused on sale today takes inspiration from the idea of throwaway materials and Frankenstein's legendary monster to embark on the very special 'Franken-Fashion' masks project collaborating with designers such as Alexander McQueen, Gareth Pugh, Martin Margiela, Hussein Chalayan, and Riccardo Tisci.

Make Me a Monster!
Each of the 13 designers involved created a mask especially for Dazed, using scraps lying around the designers’ studios including rubber gloves, leather offcuts and even an old lampshade... Modelled by the fabulous Guinevere van Seenus, shot by Daniel Jackson and styled by Dazed senior fashion editor Karen Langley, whilst elsewhere in the new issue is more Franken-fashion coming from Richard Burbridge, Magnus Unnar, Mark Pillai and Max Farago.
