Featuring Marion Cotillard and the power of performance, Courtney Love, Rei Kawakubo and Doug Aitken. Plus 10 visionaries get personal and share a passion and behind the scenes at Paris Fashion Week.
DAZED & CONFUSED: March Issue

Holding the March issue up to a webcam sets Dazed’s Augmented Reality fashion in motion, with five exclusive fashion films showcasing the best of the spring collections. Contributors include the likes of supermodel Jessica Miller and photographer David Armstrong, working with the Dazed fashion editors on stories ranging from avant-garde performance pieces to a chilling horror short.

A special 30-second teaser film was produced for the issue, showing highlights of all the above films that are only viewable in full with a physical copy of the magazine. This teaser film also exclusively debuts the revolutionary Pokeware technology, a system that allows the viewer to pause fashion films and see clothing credits overlaid on the image, with the option to click through to find out more.

Cover girl Mia Wasikowska, star of Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland, talks to Dazed about her adventures through the looking glass. The magazine also heads to LA with cult artrock trio Liars, who reveal all about their amazing new album Sisterworld. And in his first ever UK interview, 65-year-old photographer Robert Bergman explains how he has now finally been recognised as one of America’s greatest art photographers.

LONO IS BACK (in stock)

Due to it's popularity, The Curse of Lono has been out of stock for some time whilst waiting to be reprinted. Now, Lono is back but for how long, no one knows. This book is most certainly a best seller and if you wish to get your hands on it, I would recommend hanging about.

The Curse of Lono
is to Hawaii what Fear and Loathing was to Las Vegas: the crazy tales of a journalist's "coverage" of a news event that ends up being a wild ride to the dark side of Americana. Originally published in 1983, Curse features all of the zany, hallucinogenic wordplay and feral artwork for which the Hunter S. Thompson/Ralph Steadman duo became known and loved. This curious book, considered an oddity among Hunter's oeuvre, was long out of print, prompting collectors to search high and low for an original copy. TASCHEN's signed, limited edition sold out before the book even hit the stores, but this unlimited version makes the title accessible to everyone.

The Curse of Lono

Thompson, Hunter S. / Steadman, Ralph
Hardcover, 28 x 37.4 cm (11 x 14.7 in.), 208 pages
£ 34.99
