About
Dazed MENA is the first youth-community-focused fashion, style, and culture magazine in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Launched in winter 2024, it is a regional edition of the UK-based Dazed magazine, created in partnership between Dazed Media and ITP Media Group, the largest media company in the MENA region.
Led by Editor-in-Chief Ahmad Swaid, a Lebanese-Sierra Leonean journalist with a background in GQ Middle East and Dazed Media, the magazine is produced by a team of homegrown creative talent from across the region. The team includes Creative Director Chndy, Fashion Director Omaima Salem, Content Director Fady Nageeb, and Deputy Editor Sarra Alyyan.
Dazed MENA offers a quarterly print magazine, a digital platform, social media channels, limited edition product collaborations, and an annual events program across key cities in the region. The magazine aims to challenge stereotypes and uncover untold stories through the lens of Arab and North African youth culture, serving a disruptive editorial vision to its vast region of 22 countries and beyond for the Global South.
