Dazed Media has announced Dazed Middle East and North Africa (MENA) will be launching in Winter 2024.

Dazed Media has signed an agreement with ITP Media Group, the largest media company in the Middle East and North Africa region, to create Dazed MENA. The new publication will be the first ever magazine to focus on youth culture, fashion, style and culture in the Middle East.

Dazed MENA will comprise a website, social channels, a quarterly print magazine, limited edition product collaborations and an annual events programme that will take place in key cities across the region’s 22 countries. Dazed MENA will be led by a team of creative talent from across the region, handpicked by the magazine’s new Editor-in-Chief Ahmad Swaid, previously Editor-in-Chief at GQ Middle East.

The newly appointed team will consist of Paris-based French Egyptian stylist Omaima Salem as Fashion Director; Chndy, a multidisciplinary artist from Oman, as Creative Director; Sarra Alayyan, a Palestinian-Jordanian writer, editor and researcher, as Deputy Editor; and Fady Nageeb, an Egyptian journalist, as Content Director.

The digital and its social channels will launch in late September, with the magazine’s first print issue launching in winter 2024.
