Dazed Vol. VI Winter 2025: The Shadow Issue

Dazed returns with its Winter 2025 “Shadow Issue,” a fearless exploration of the hidden, repressed, and often overlooked parts of both individual and collective experience. Rather than glossing over darkness, this issue dives into it — presenting stories, visuals, and voices confronting shadow selves, societal anxieties, and cultural complexity head-on.

Across its pages you’ll find striking creative perspectives featuring:

• Owen Cooper in a cover portrait by Justine Kurland
• Rachel Sennott channeling generational angst
• Yung Lean navigating inner and outer darkness
• Chase Infiniti embodying calm under pressure
• Loli Bahia and Dara Gueye in Dior-styled cover features
• August Barron’s uncanny fashion narratives

Inside, the issue also includes cultural essays and features such as an Arthur Jafa piece on provocative art, a deep-dive essay on the 21st century so far, Luna Carmoon’s visionary cultural syllabus, and dynamic storytelling from music, film, and subcultural scenes.

This edition is as much about fashion and photography as it is about the emotional and psychological landscapes that shape creative expression — making it essential for readers drawn to cutting-edge culture, art, and cultural critique.
