Dazed magazine marks a significant transition with BLACKPINK’s Rosé featured on the cover of its concluding issue helmed by editor-in-chief Ib Kamara. This edition, released on Thursday, signifies the close of Kamara’s dynamic, youth-oriented chapter that commenced in 2021.
Captured by photographer Campbell Addy, Rosé captivates in a transparent polka dot ensemble by Saint Laurent, amidst a backdrop of falling rose petals. This imagery encapsulates her dual nature as a global superstar while simultaneously seeking the freedom associated with privacy.
In her feature, Rosé discusses the balance between her career and personal life, expressing her dedication to her art: “Even during downtime, my mind remains active.” She also shares her ambition to delve into acting: “I would love to experience acting, as it allows one to experience anonymity.”
Kamara describes this final issue as a tribute to those influencing culture across music, film, and fashion—making Rosé an ideal feature. “It feels fitting to conclude with such a remarkable edition,” he remarked.
As he departs from Dazed, Kamara looks back on four years dedicated to uplifting innovative talents and transforming fashion media. While embarking on a new journey, his influence on youth culture will undoubtedly endure.
