Enigmatic 90s fashion icon Kristen McMenamy is coverstar of Dazed & Confused this August. Artist Tierney Gearon and Dazed fashion director Karen Langley headed for the woods of upstate New York with Kristen to capture her untamable attitude, a legendary model who continues to shake up the fashion world even as she turns 46.

We also travel to Nashville to hang out with supermodel-turned-country-chanteuse Karen Elson, who talks creative fulfillment and life with husband Jack White, shot by artist Marlene Marino.

Art photographer Roe Ethridge combines forces with senior fashion editor Katie Shillingford for a unique portfolio that reimagines seven of today’s supermodels as they’ve never been seen before; and this issue also announces some changes in the Dazed fashion department. Karen Langley has been appointed fashion director, while Katie Shillingford becomes senior fashion editor and Robbie Spencer becomes senior menswear editor.
