Dazed has released nine different covers for its 25th anniversary issue, inviting some of the magazine’s past fashion directors and photographers to shoot their ultimate cover star. The covers, featuring the likes of Marilyn Manson shot by Terry Richardson and directed by Nicola Formichetti, and Gigi Hadid shot by Rankin with fashion director Katie Grand, have been periodically released over the past week. The series culminates today with the ninth cover starring Jean Campbell, shot by Roe Ethridge.

The AW16 issue “celebrates the creatives we feel are truly radical in print,” says the magazine, paying tribute to its past collaborators who it says “have always been just a bunch of weirdos at heart”.

The other covers feature: FKA Twigs captured by Ryan McGinley and Karen Langley; Kate Moss styled by Alister Mackie and shot by Ethan James Green; Pamela Anderson shot by Zoe Ghertner; Willow Smith shot by Ben Toms; Natalie Westling captured by Walter Pfeiffer; and Sasha Lane shot by Sean and Seng.

The cover of Dazed magazine features Jean Campbell smiling with their eyes closed. They wear a dark jacket with fringed shoulders and are surrounded by light blue balloons. The masthead reads “DAZED” in bold black letters, with a circular badge marking the “25 Anniversary Issue”.
