Dazed is a British monthly style magazine which was founded in 1991 and was formerly known as Dazed and Confused. Editor Jefferson Hack and famous fashion photographer Rankin were its founders and based the magazine around music, fashion, film, art and literature. The magazine first started as a black and white folded poster which was randomly published sporadically. However, it soon evolved into full colour and was promoted within London club nights.
The magazine has since ventured into many sub-categories within a variety of countries. In 1999 Dazed Film and TV was founded and acted as the first ever production company to produce masthead television broadcast - Renegade TV Gets Dazed, for Channel 4.
