Innehållsförteckning för Summer 2022 från Dazed & Confused

It’s no coincidence that my fifth issue for Dazed happens to be the one most inspired by the life, times and energy that Virgil Abloh brought to the industry and world. Therefore, Issue V, as it came to be known during production, is an ode to the spirit he embodied. It’s a visual exploration of the ways in which we can push ourselves to the limits and create work that inspires, provokes and uses the imagination to tell truly global stories. This mantra has guided the team and me to put the following pages together. For our first cover story, A$AP Rocky reflects on his upcoming album, rediscovering his Bajan roots and, of course, fatherhood. True to the theme, he is confident that “I will always remind my children to…

Released on March 6, 1965, Andy Warhol’s Empire was the pop art forefather’s second full-length feature. The monumental spectre of the film’s (inanimate) cast towered over its meagre plotline, which comprised a stationary, six-and-a-half-hour take of New York’s Empire State Building, shot by Warhol from the 41st floor of an opposing Rockefeller Foundation-owned skyscraper, through the duration of an agonisingly slow sunset. The off-the-bat premise may sound curious at best, pointless at worst. But in the heyday of the action-packed motion picture and star-studded big-budget epics, Warhol (an entirely self-taught filmmaker) attempted the opposite of what even the most audacious cinematic experiments had tried before him – he directed a movie that doesn’t, in fact, move. A working-class queer boy from Pittsburgh, Warhol didn’t really care about impressing his arthouse…

Hugging the southern banks of the Congo River, Kinshasa is the capital city of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, one of the poorest countries in the world per GDP. For decades now, it has been home to vast mounds of industrial waste known locally as décharges pirates, open dumps that block drains, spark fires and spread cholera. A colonial hangover, cities like Kinshasa have become dumping grounds for superfluous production from the global north. But as waste heaps have grown, sending shadows across Kinshasa, so too has a groundswell for ingenious methods of transforming refuse into meaningful art and noise. Fulu Miziki are a music collective that began turning trash into instruments in the 2000s, but they only started formally recording their music during lockdown. As inspired by the…

Every image tells a story. From culture to costume, dress codes to hairstyles and the nationalism we brush off as normal, symbols of shared heritage hold the power to shape the way we interpret ourselves. They tell stories of conquest and subjugation, power and resistance. When re-evaluated, they allow us to critically confront the past and our struggles for social justice, whether it’s destigmatising afro hair in professional spaces via UK campaign group the Halo Collective, or artist Hew Locke’s unpacking of Britain’s problematic past through thought-provoking portraiture. In our digital-first, image-obsessed present, it seems there are reclamations of heritage happening everywhere, every day, and at a faster and more frantic pace than ever. Symbols that were previously used to wield power over people are rehashed to assert some semblance…

Bree Runway has been hiding something. Her trademark oversized Gucci sunglasses have long snapped in half, a confession she relays to her 266,000 followers on Instagram hours before we speak. “Listen… Bye!” Bree laughs, snapping her fingers with a delightfully camp energy when I quiz her about the famous lenses. It’s been a profound source of distress that she’d kept in the dark since 2021 – “I couldn’t even admit to anyone that those glasses were no longer with us because they are literally Bree Runway. I remember I picked them up one day, I think I was going to Lady Gaga’s launch for House of Gucci, and I put them on, did nothing crazy, and the arm just snapped off! My heart was torn to shreds because they’ve been…

Fashion bootleg has been around forever. As long as brand obsession has existed, so has the drive to update, collage and appropriate its symbols. But in the last decade, bootleg has become the industry’s favourite way to explore the boundaries of high and low cultures. It has grown to reflect the ways that fashion hierarchy is disrupted and reinvented. I spent most of 2019 working on an exhibition called The Real Thing at Fashion Space Gallery in London. It was dedicated to bootleg as a creative language and disruptive force. Among the works of 13 artists and designers were May Hands’ sculptures, created by pouring concrete into luxury shopping bags; Hassan Kurbanbaev’s photos from markets in Uzbekistan, locals proudly posing in velvet robes and tracksuits emblazoned with LV and Gucci…

“Wake up, the war has begun.” These are the words that artist Anastasiia Nekypila and her fellow Ukrainians heard on the morning of February 24, 2022. It is also the title of a new series of drawings Nekypila has been working on since Putin’s invasion. “Since then, mornings have ceased to be good, ” she says. Previously, Nekypila painted on canvas in a colourful, childlike style inspired by nationally beloved folk artist, Maria Primachenko, 25 of whose paintings were destroyed in the bombing of the Ivankiv Museum on February 28. Now, she works mostly with the colour black and makes digital rather than physical works. “War has made me realise that I shouldn’t get attached to anything, because it can be taken away at any moment. For now, drawing in…

“I drew a Ukrainian warrior who protects us. We will win no matter what: we will go through missiles, tanks and bullets. And even though we have great casualties, our soldiers do not give up. They protect Ukraine; they protect me.” UA Kids Today (@uakids.today) is an online gallery created by Anastasia and Artem Bykovets, encouraging Ukrainian children to explore their feelings about the war through painting and illustration “All my life I have lived in beautiful Ukrainian Odesa: I went to school, attended a dance club, adored my family and loved the funniest cat in the world. I believe that this will be the happiest day of my life, when the bright rays of the sun will spread around me, when I will be able to put on my…

FILIPPAK A TOAST TO AUTHENTICITY Clint has amassed a cult-like community in the five years since launching Corteiz, his British streetwear label. As its influence has expanded, the spotlight has turned inevitably towards the mononymous maverick behind the brand – a spotlight the 20 – something-year-old typically evades with ease and intent. Everybody wants a piece of Clint, but he’s only willing to offer a slice of the action This is not an interview, at least not in the traditional sense – a fact that Clint makes abundantly clear before I can even hit record on our conversation. “I’ve only agreed to this because I was told it was about Virgil, ” he asserts. Most questions outside of those parameters fall short of his approval, especially those regarding Corteiz. As…

Naomi Osaka is one of tennis’s hardest hitters, with a powerful serve that topped 125mph at the 2016 US Open. It’s a swiftness and strength that, two years later, won her the first of four Grand Slam championships, beating her idol Serena Williams at just 19 years of age. Osaka’s most seditious statement required no super forehand or even any words. At 2020’s US Open, she wore masks sporting the names of seven Black Americans killed by police – Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain, Ahmaud Arbery, Trayvon Martin, George Floyd, Philando Castile, and Tamir Rice. “Looking back, I think that was definitely the first time I realised that I had a voice, and it could be used in a positive way, ” the 24-year-old says today. “I just went with my…
