Dazed magazine marks a significant milestone by featuring BLACKPINK’s Rosé on the cover of its last issue under the editorial leadership of Ib Kamara. Released on Thursday, this cover symbolizes the conclusion of Kamara’s dynamic, youth-centric period which commenced in 2021.
Captured by photographer Campbell Addy, Rosé enchants in a delicate sheer polka dot ensemble from Saint Laurent, enveloped by flowing rose petals. The imagery encapsulates her twofold identity—a global superstar and an individual yearning for discretion and freedom.
In her interview, Rosé discusses achieving a balance between her personal and professional life, expressing her passion for her art: “Even when I’m not engaged in work, my thoughts are always in motion.” She also shares her aspirations to delve into acting: “I would find joy in acting, as it would allow me to experience a sense of anonymity.”
Kamara remarks that the concluding issue serves as a tribute to those influential in shaping the cultural landscape of music, cinema, and fashion—making Rosé an ideal final feature. “It feels fitting to conclude with such a meaningful edition,” he commented.
As he concludes his tenure at Dazed, Kamara reminisces about four years dedicated to uplifting global visionaries and transforming fashion journalism. A new chapter lies ahead, but the imprint he leaves on youth culture endures.
