“On a desert island, the pigeon post will bring only one publication each month. Which one would you choose and why?”

I felt this particular question would a be a great way to get know me and give you a small insight into what I personally like reading and digesting! Hope you enjoy and by all means let me no what publications you would want to join you on a desert island. 

When looking up into a clear, blue sky from my desert island I would want a reminder of the world I was once saturated within. However, for me this publication would not only show Karl Lagerfeld’s spring/summer collection of pearl incrusted dresses and  Gaultier’s Haute Couture Amy Winehouse tribute, it would also delve into the cultural global network which I would miss so much of.  That’s why I would want the pigeon post to drop down the wondrous publication that is Dazed and Confused.

Dazed and Confused is a British magazine which has delighted its readers for the past twenty years with everything from the latest innovative fashion designers, to a contemporary take on illustration and photography, with added insightful access in film and music coverage.  Everything an individual could want when removed from all activity in the wider world.  

With its founding editors, Jefferson Hack and Rankin, the quirky, contemporary vibe is reflected onto the pages of the publication. Being an admirer of Rankin’s works it’s easy to see his influence on the editorial layouts and photographical compositions, which adds a new perspective to its content. The eccentricity of the front pages highlight a key dimension and difference from other publications, I am drawn to Dazed and Confused through its use of visual mediums and diversifying photography which are used to illustrate a new age of publication with this their growing reputation developed and the magazine's small distribution has significantly increased.  A particular piece which would fulfil my needs when on the island would be ‘Incoming’ a section within Dazed and Confused which depicts the latest happenings in the cultural and fashion climate.

However marooned and alone I would feel on my desert island, I would not feel isolated from the modern world,  as every month I would have the anticipation  of my pigeon post  delivering a new window into the ever changing world of societies’ movements stepping out of convention and in to the daring world that is Dazed and Confused.
