Catalogue note
Dazed & Confused No. 98, February 2003, is a men’s issue fronted by Jake Gyllenhaal in a Rankin portrait styled by Nicola Formichetti. The cover package places Gyllenhaal alongside a deliberately broad early-2000s cast including Pharrell Williams, Vincent Cassel, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Aidan Gillen, Patrick Wolf, Noel Fielding and Bruce LaBruce, while the opposite cover column mixes anti-war satire with a “Girls Who Rock” strand. The supplied contents page is dedicated to Joe Strummer, who had died in December 2002, making the issue an immediate piece of posthumous youth-culture documentation as well as a fashion and celebrity magazine. Specialist digital-edition indexing confirms Rankin and Formichetti’s Jake Gyllenhaal cover and the wider men’s portrait portfolio. The issue captures Dazed at a moment when film, music, menswear and emerging personalities were being treated as one interconnected field of visual culture.
