Catalogue note
Early-2005 Dazed & Confused centred on The Kills as “VV & Hotel”, photographed by Laurence Passera, at the point the duo were preparing to release their second album No Wow. The issue also documents Gang of Four, Wong Kar-wai and 2046, Afghanistan’s post-Taliban heroin economy, and a fashion section spanning Hussein Chalayan and an early Riccardo Tisci feature. A notable internal dating discrepancy is preserved: the front cover says January 2005, while the contents page identifies the magazine as February Issue 22 2005; the issue sequence supports February as the catalogue date.
Why this object matters
The Kills, early Tisci and Wong Kar-wai coverage create an outstanding fashion/music/cinema document. Retain 8.8 and preserve the conflicting cover/contents dates rather than silently resolving them through the score.
