Rosé of BLACKPINK Covers Dazed’s Final Issue Under Ib Kamara’s Editorship

Rosé covers Dazed’s final issue under Ib Kamara, reflecting on work, identity, and dreams of acting, as the editor ends a transformative four-year run

Dazed magazine closes a major chapter with BLACKPINK’s Rosé fronting its final issue under editor-in-chief Ib Kamara. Released Thursday, the cover marks the end of Kamara’s bold, youth-driven era that began in 2021.

Photographed by Campbell Addy, Rosé stuns in a sheer polka dot Saint Laurent look, surrounded by cascading rose petals. The shoot reflects her duality—global icon and someone searching for freedom through anonymity.

In the feature, Rosé opens up about her work-life balance and love for her craft: “Even when I’m not working, my brain is.” She also reveals a desire to explore acting: “I would love to act, because I’ll get to feel what it’s like to be anonymous.”

Kamara says the final issue is a celebration of those shaping culture across music, film, and fashion—making Rosé a fitting choice. “It feels right to be ending with such a special issue,” he shared.

As he steps away from Dazed, Kamara reflects on four years of elevating global creatives and redefining fashion media. A new adventure awaits, but his impact on youth culture remains.
