DAZED & CONFUSED’S SUMMER MUSIC & FASHION SPECIAL STARRING BEYONCE

Pop icon Beyonce takes centre stage for July’s Dazed, in a trailer park fantasy shoot featuring bespoke outfits created by Tom Ford, Riccardo Tisci, Gareth Pugh, Haider Ackermann, Stefano Pilati and Marc Jacobs. Shot in New York by Sharif Hamza and styled by fashion director Karen Langley, the music superstar talks to Dazed’s music editor Tim Noakes about what she’s got in store for Glastonbury, her new album and how her life has changed since taking a year away from the spotlight.

Also in July’s music and fashion special, Dazed selects this summer’s hottest artists, including LA’s new rap queen Kreayshawn, mysterious Mancunian cult band Wu Lyf, and an in depth feature on the return of Britain’s most exciting young producers Tom Vek, Wiley, Zomby and Gwilym Gold.

Plus: Arcade Fire’s Win Butler and filmmaker Spike Jonze discuss their dystopian film collaboration Scene From The Suburbs, dancehall deejay Vybz Kartel explains why he’s the sexual liberator of Jamaica, cult pioneer of postmodern dance Anna Halprin looks back at a revolutionary life, and Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon talks making monster hits with Kanye West.

The twenty page booklet features all of the images of the Yves Saint Laurent A/W 2008-9 ad campaign, shot by Ines van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. It will be distributed as a free newspaper. Indeed 1 million copies of the third installment of YSL so-called manifesto will be handed out on the streets of New York, Paris, London, Milan, Tokyo and Hong Kong.
In a special twist, spreading the message of luxury on the streets is this season getting even more exclusive: the first 5,000 passers-by to collect their copy in each city will find it encased in a limited edition cotton tote bag, designed by YSL creative director Stefano Pilati himself.
The Manifesto will be available between 11am and 7pm on September 6 from the location listed below in London. Start staking out your style spot now.

The manifesto and a short film will launch simultaneously on ysl.com
