Dazed / Dazed & Confused Vol. 2 · Issue 23
Fashion Made to Move You — Marina Perez / Geoffrey Beene, Claire McCardell & Bonnie Cashin
March 2005 fashion-led Dazed issue built around movement, function and the legacy of American sportswear design, with Marina Perez photographed by Richard Bush in vintage Geoffrey Beene. Its cultural range is unusually strong: very early Be Your Own Pet coverage, Josh Homme and Queens of the Stone Age immediately before Lullabies to Paralyze, Christian Marclay on the art of noise, Christian Bale between The Machinist and Batman Begins, and an early Grime Watch feature on Channel U. The original-looking #UNCOVERED cover sticker/label survives on this copy.
