Exhibition from Dazed and Confused Magazine : Making It Up As We Go Along, showcasing 20 years of Dazed and Confused imagery.
Dazed was founded in London by Jefferson Hack and Rankin in 1991 and quickly became the platform to be seen in if you were an emerging creative.
‘Dazed & Confused represented a new wave in the British press, bringing together figures from an assortment of fields and eras to produce extraordinary interviews and original artwork exclusively for the magazine.’
The show is curated by Jefferson Hack and Emma Reeves in collaboration with Somerset House and is a multi layered exhibition that will immortalise some of the magazines most famous visuals and controversial content. On show will also be specially commissioned projects by artists Jake & Dinos Chapman, Damien Hirst and Sam Taylor-Wood, cutting edge fashion pages by stylists Katie Grand, Katy England, Alister Mackie and Nicola Formichetti, and specially selected designs by fashion giants Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood and Gareth Pugh.
An anniversary book will also be published by Rizzoli.
Based in the Terrace Rooms at Somerset house, admission free.
