This month, expect steel tendons and X-ray vision as Dazed bows before the might of the man machine. Bestriding the cover is young French film star Gaspard Ulliel, who talks about his ambivalent relationship with the fashion world, and his latest English-language film The Vintner’s Luck. Styled by Jacob K and shot by Solve Sundsbo, this feature kicks off an eye-popping exploration of this season’s best menswear.
 
Also in this issue, we travel into the depths of Texas with psychedelic noise trio White Denim and plot rebellion with Romain Kremer; speak to four of our favourite wild-eyed creative mavericks, Alan Moore, Charlie Kaufman, Michel Gondry and Clayton Patterson; listen in on a conversation between Jack White and Alison Mosshart about their new project The Dead Weather; and delve into the more obsessive side of the masculine personality, whether it’s building a toaster from scratch, breaking into the Olympic site, joining a gang, or cheating your way to sex and riches.
