## Background

[edit]

Dazed was begun[1] by Jefferson Hack, and Rankin while they were studying at London College of Printing (now London College of Communications).[2] Beginning as a black-and-white folded poster[3] the magazine soon turned full colour and was promoted at London club nights. The Norwegian photographer and later Hells Angel Marcel Leliënhof [4] was involved with the magazine in the first editions, as was the stylist Katie Grand.[5]
