It’s back: the Dazed 100, now in its ninth year, is the definitive list of the next generation of creatives driving youth culture forward. Curated by Dazed Editor-in-Chief IB Kamara and the Dazed editorial team, the list is about championing creativity and innovation, featuring the most inspiring change-makers from across the globe.

“Over the years, the Dazed 100 has championed the movers, shakers and trailblazers in the creative industry and this year’s list is no different,” says Ib Kamara, Editor-in-Chief of Dazed. “I’m constantly reminded of all the global talent that we’re so lucky to both watch from afar and collaborate with across our platforms.”

See our 2023 list of 100 trailblazing creatives – from photographers to musicians to designers to activists – below. To forge your own creative community, join Dazed Club now.
