Dazed & Confused November art issue

It's that time of year again when the art season spills across the creative disciplines giving birth to inspiring collaborations in the fashion sector. Dazed & Confused have dedicated their November issue to art, perfect timing during the Frieze Art Fair. The issue, which goes on sale on 9 October, features a 12-page visual collaboration between Grace Jones and Chris Cunningham, with the "avant-garde film director digitally morphing the iconic performer to reveal the Devil Inside. Grace Jones explains her take on the shoot with Chris – It’s not fashion, it’s an anti-fashion shoot. He’s shooting me like art.”

 

Chris Cunningham’s inspiration came from his 2005 short film “Rubber Johnny” – ‘When I made the images for Rubber Johnny, I wanted to make some Nubian versions to accompany them. For me, Grace has the strongest iconography of any artist in music. She’s definitely the most inspiring person I’ve worked with so far.”

The cutting edge style publication invited four of its favourite international art curators, from Paul Pieroni to Kathy Grayson, to take over the pages of Dazed for a unique art project, and speak to Frieze’s Neville Wakefield about just what makes a curator great.

"It’s a collaboration between two of the most progressive and innovative artists of our time, again pushing the boundaries of perception," said Nicola Formichetti, creative director of Dazed & Confused.
