It’s been a big year here at Dazed HQ. As well as a change in offices, there was a changing of the guard as former editor-in-chief IB Kamara passed the baton to Ted Stansfield, who assumed his post earlier this summer. 

Kamara closed out his four-year tenure with the Celebration Issue, featuring a megawatt lineup of greats, from Naomi Campbell to Skepta, Kylie Jenner to Rosé. Meanwhile, Stansfield kicked off his era with the Uncensored Issue, including a spread of cover stars all uncensored in their own individual ways: Lorde, Steve Lacy, Alex Consani, Vivian Wilson, Mahmoud Khalil, David Jonsson and Fashion East. 

But outside of two historic issues, countless moments similarly captured the world’s attention: whether that was our spring cover celebrating Generation T: The faces of trans America, or Yung Lean and Charli xcx in conversation for our most recent issue. As per usual, our brilliant crop of stylists brought fashion in abundance, and below, we take a look back on 2025 in Dazed fashion editorials.
