# Dazed: 30 Years Confused: The Covers - Hardcover

by **Jefferson Hack** (Contribution by), **Björk** (Contribution by), **Katie Grand** (Author)

**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.
