Catalogue note
August 2004 issue of Dazed & Confused centred on Carl Barât and The Libertines at an exceptionally charged moment in the band’s history, with David Bailey photographing Barât and Mick Jones appearing as the link back to The Clash. The issue also includes Hedi Slimane’s “Ritual” art project with Ryan McGinley, Gus Van Sant and Doug Aitken; an extensive A–Z of new-season menswear coordinated by Nicola Formichetti and Bryan McMahon; and substantive features on Questlove, Stephen Sprouse and Alfred Molina. It is a strong document of the early-2000s intersection of British indie music, fashion photography, menswear and contemporary art.
