Nichola Formichetti

King photographed by Hedi Slimane for Dazed and Confused Jan 2008

All the young fashion photographers I know are bidding to be in Dazed and Confused, a turn of event I find to be fascinating. Over the past two years a powerful creative team has gelled at the magazine ring-led by the formidable Nichola Formichetti. I love a current project the magazine is currently spinning, to have its readers (well the ones who are under 18 and living in the UK) create their own Dazed cover using images shot by Hedi Slimane.

Every morning I wake up and ask myself the question "Well...What do you believe in today?". Pumping out TI over the past 8 months has forced to me to look all around for inspiration. But sometimes I run dry . This afternoon I got an email from Kayode Ojo from Tennessee who's headed to SVA to study photography this fall, KO wrote :

"I saw this and I thought of TI. The blog is fascinating. It keeps me sane. People in Tennessee are like "What's Balenciaga?"

I checked out KO's recommendation and was speechless. It was a MAJOR thing. Here it is for your viewing pleasure. Thanks so much KO. I'm emailing you after posting this!
