Dazed is published by Dazed Media, an independent media group known for producing stories across its print, digital, and video brands.

01Background
Dazed was begun by Jefferson Hack, Rankin, and Ian C Taylor, while they were studying at London College of Printing (now London College of Communications). Beginning as a black-and-white folded poster the magazine soon turned full colour and was promoted at London club nights. The Norwegian photographer and later Hells Angel Marcel Leliënhof was involved with the magazine in the first editions, as was the stylist Katie Grand.
