Catalogue note
March 2003 issue of Dazed & Confused, No. 99, fronted by Belgian model Elise Crombez and a Spring/Summer 2003 fashion focus. The issue combines a rare interview with Junya Watanabe, Takashi Miike during his early international breakthrough, a feature on Spike Jonze's Adaptation, music coverage of Common and the pre-debut-album Kings of Leon, and a short-film survey involving Chris Morris, Mike Leigh and Ridley Scott. Its fashion production includes Dirk Seiden Schwan, Cathy Edwards, Eric Nehr, Hector Castro, Rankin and Nicola Formichetti, making the object an unusually dense record of early-2000s fashion, film and music culture.
Why this object matters
The Watanabe interview, Miike/Jonze film material and short-film survey make an outstanding original fashion and moving-image document. Retain 8.8 for the specific editorial concentration, without relying on the penultimate issue number.
