Dazed MENA

Dazed MENA is the first youth-community-focused fashion, style and culture magazine in the Middle East and North Africa, led by editor-in-chief Ahmad Swaid and a team of homegrown creative talent from across the region including creative director Chndy, fashion director Omaima Salem, content director Fady Nageeb and deputy editor Sarra Alyyan. Together, this team represents a cultural shift in how stories are told and how communities will be connected throughout the region.

Brave, soulful and unyielding, Dazed MENA’s quarterly print magazine and digital offering challenges stereotypes and uncovers 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.
