Star Culture: The Collected Interviews from Dazed & Confused Magazine
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This is a selection of the best interviews from the leading fashion and style magazine "Dazed and Confused". With irreverent interviews and interesting juxtapositions of celebrities interviewing one another, it adds up to an exploration of "star culture". This book was conceived as an exploration into the language of style culture - a world where identity fuses with image to leave many would-be protagonists dazed and confused as to the results. "Dazed and Confused" magazine has today become a platform for many up-and-coming and established artists, film directors, actors, photographers and fashion gurus. With a strong belief in collaborative journalism, that utilises the format of the two-way interview in its most refined form, it turns th tables on established interview techniques to transform the celebrity profile into a hard-hitting expose on the nature of fame and creativity. With up to 40 interviews with celebrities (Damien Hirst, Jean Baudrillard, Kate Moss, Terry Southern, Isaac Hayes, Naom Chomsky, Bjork and Stockhausen, Lou Reed and Paul Auster, Harmony Korine and Werner Herzog etc), the book includes full page portraits of the personalities features in the magazine, including photographs by Rankin, Phil Poynter, Martina Hoogland-Ivanhoe, Duane Michals, Dean Chalkley, Andrew Cotterill, Mr Perou, Justin Westover, Jurgen Teller, Mario Testino, Robert Frank, Wolfgang Tillsmans and Dana Lixenberg. The "Dazed and Confused" collected interviews provide a definitive insight into style culture of the 1990s, forming a portrait of a generation of young artists alongside their more established antecedents.
