I popped over to Flying Lotus’s new crib in Echo Park to hear Cosmogramma, the follow up to 2008’s globally acclaimed Los Angeles. In this exclusive film for Dazed Digital, the producer talks candidly about his success, rip off merchants, and how his Mother’s passing affected his beats.  He also got very stoned. We didn't. Honestly.

No one else could have pulled off a Trade Museum. Only Comme des Garçons has the guts to fill a shop floor with beautiful products that no one are allowed to buy, just gaze admiringly at. But what a brilliant idea though. How often are you ashamed of just walking around a shop, knowing that a shop assistant is staring you in the neck, upset to that you are 'just browsing'. Well, now you don't have a choice. You're not allowed to buy, just look. Museums are traditionally full of odd and old stuff that serves an educational purpose. Many times they're not that interesting. The notion of 'trade', at the same time, is just as old as the things on d... article continues »

Australian born Louise Markey is about to launch her label, LF Markey, on to the British public through a range of boutiques and a new website e-shop. The Central Saint Martins MA graduate and Fashion Fringe finalist have so far shone with her retail absence on these shores. The problem was solved with the help of Matches and the new cyber presence of www.lfmarkey.com. Available to online customers are now four basic pieces from the Sp... article continues »

In this month’s Dazed & Confused, Robert “3D” Del Naja talks about Massive Attack’s film project for their fifth album Heligoland. The band commissioned 10 to 12 low-budget videos – most of which are still in the making – by both established names and those with little experience of directing. “We are always keen not to be in the videos, and not to compromise the idea by having to make an appearance,” says Del Naja. “But on the whole it has been a case of carte blanche with the directors, to the extent where we said: ‘We will give you the stems of the tracks and you can use whichever components you want, loop some parts, take the vocals out…’ We have always b... article continues »

In this month’s Dazed & Confused, Robert “3D” Del Naja talks about Massive Attack’s film project for their fifth album Heligoland. The band commissioned seven low-budget videos – most of which are still in the making – by both established names and those with little experience of directing. “We are always keen not to be in the videos, and not to compromise the idea by having to make an appearance,” says Del Naja. “But on the whole it has been a case of carte blanche with the directors, to the extent where we said: ‘We will give you the stems of the tracks and you can use whichever components you want, loop some parts, take the vocals out…’ We have always been... article continues »

At the beginning of 2006, Ralph Vaessen was still an unassuming Dutch government employee. Yet a radical change in life awaited him: not managing to find the frames he wanted, he got in touch through a Dutch optician with a small German-based atelier that could produce single sets of frames. But why making only one set when you could have an entire collection and share it with the rest of the world, Vaessen wondered. Soon, he designed an entire eyewear line and eventually changed job, creating exclusive and luxurious handmade frames in natural horn.

With a host of celebrities who have been wearing his designs – including Laetitia Casta, Anton... article continues »

For the music issue of Dazed I hit the road with psyche hop wizard Gonjasufi, travelling from LA to his home in Las Vegas. Along the way we hooked up with his long-term producer and global purveyor of cosmic bass, The Gaslamp Killer for an afternoon of machetes, possum hats, hash cookies and heady vibes. In this exclusive film for Dazed Digital, the duo discuss on camera – for the first time ever – what inspired A Sufi & A Killer, their hallucinogenic debut album, and we also show what happened behind the scenes of Luke Gilford’s shoot for the magazine. What are you waiting for? Los Bangeles and Sin City are calling you…

The legendary French auteur Bertrand Tavernier has spent a lifetime making films shot through with humanity, compassion and social conscience, and last night in London he hosted a screening of the director’s cut of his 2009 masterpiece In The Electric Mist. Starring Tommy Lee Jones as a southern lawman haunted by the past, the murder mystery evokes the spectre of the American Civil War to explore collective guilt and the psychological legacy of slavery. The packed-out event was organised by the French film channel Cinemoi and attended by the directors Ken Loach and Stephen Frears, among others. Before everyone took their seats Dazed Digital took som... article continues »

The little sister of Marc Jacobs' clothing empire, Miss Marc, has gone missing. According to the latest police report, Miss Marc is hiding in London department store Harvey Nichols. Store officials are pleading with the public to aid in the search. Actually, so eager are they to locate her that an award - a Marc by Marc tote bag - has been promised to whoever finds Miss Marc.

Stickers with the William Broome designed character has randomly been placed around the Knightsbridge retail heaven. Once you have found Miss Marc, a 'Sheriff' will take custody over her and issue you with a form to fill out. When 10 winner forms has been handed in, a draw will take place. Fingers crossed.
