Do you ever feel like you don’t belong here? 👽️⁠ ⁠ This year, your FYP (For You Page) has likely been populated with videos of teens and young adults engaging in a viral phenomenon known as reality shifting. ⁠ ⁠ What is reality shifting exactly? In a nutshell, shifting is transcending the anxieties of urban living with angel numbers and cosmic manifestations designed to help you step into your dream reality.⁠ ⁠ The trend initially took off on TikTok in 2019 because Harry Potter stans wanted to meet their SO in Hogwarts. Some shifters claim to have spent years, decades even, in their DR only to wake up to their boring lives once again.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to read more 🔗⁠ ⁠ ✍️ @gunseliiiiii ⁠ ⁠ #Dazed #shifting⁠

“I’ve always been someone who has kind of played in the shadows,” says Kenny Annan-Jonathan. “I definitely liken my journey to what Crystal Palace represents.”⁠ ⁠ The 35-year-old design supremo is relaxed, inquisitive and grounded by his family, friends and faith. He has always known how big the Crystal Palace brand is, long before he signed on as the club’s – and the Premier League’s – first creative director last year.⁠ ⁠ “I think the good thing about the club is sometimes they are seen as the underdog, being a mid-table team,” says Annan-Jonathan of Palace, currently the only south London team in English football’s top flight. “They connect to a specific audience and I think that is the perfect DNA for relationships with streetwear brands. Do you know what I mean? Because they come from the same place; the energy is the same.”⁠ ⁠ He’s excited about the future of the game and how it aligns with fashion – and, more importantly, the fan of tomorrow. For Annan-Jonathan, a brand like Crystal Palace can grow into more than just a disruptor. It can lead the way for other Premier League clubs. ⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to read the full story, taken from Dazed's Summer 2024 Issue.⁠ ⁠ Text @jessebernard.wav ⁠ Photography @maxwelltomlinson ⁠ Styling @nicocarmandaye ⁠ #CrystalPalace #KennyAnnanJonathan

The New York Times (NYT) reports that growing numbers of property moguls are using AI chatbots to manage their properties 🏠️⁠ ⁠ According to the NYT, some of these chatbots are provided by organisations like EliseAI, a tech company based in New York which serves the owners of around 2.5 million apartments in the US. ⁠ ⁠ But while your average landlord might be jumping for joy at the prospect of having to do literally nothing, unsurprisingly, many tenants aren’t too thrilled about having to beg a robot to fix their broken shower. ⁠ ⁠ How do you feel about the prospect of having an AI landlord?⁠ ⁠ ✍️ @s_mithereens ⁠ 📸 Dan Kitwood/ @gettyimages ⁠ ⁠ #Dazed #AI⁠

After a stellar AW24 Paris show in which the designers made a powerful statement about peace in Palestine, @gmbh_official made their hometown debut at Berlin Fashion Week for SS25. Enlisting a cast of their close friends and community – made up of activists, musicians, artists and loads more – @benjaminhuseby and @serhatisik__ kitted them out in a new uniform for ‘freedom fighters’. ⁠ ⁠ Incorporating boxing elements, like skimpy shorts that ballooned out from the waist or came trimmed with sexy fringing, hoodies, jackets, and second-skin vests came plastered with the mantra ‘Love and Justice’, while further inspiration came via cult cartoon Sailor Moon – the anime’s signature logo was reimagined across cropped baby tees and down the sleeves of casual tops.⁠ ⁠ ✍️ 📹 @emmaedavidson ⁠ ⁠ @referencestudios @berlinfashionwe

After 14 years in government, the Conservatives find themselves on the brink of a generational wipeout.⁠ ⁠ Across all age groups support for the Tories is dwindling, but it has nosedived among the young, with the latest YouGov poll indicating that just 4% of 18-24 year-olds plan to vote Conservative in July’s election.⁠ ⁠ For a long time, the Conservatives have relied on the idea that the electorate will eventually age into voting Tory; the older someone is, the more they have to conserve, the more they care about upholding the status quo.⁠ ⁠ But for the first time ever, there are signs that younger people are bucking this trend of becoming more right-wing with age. We won’t age into voting Conservative if we’re never given anything worth conserving.⁠ ⁠ At the link in bio, take a look back at how their damaging policies may have cost them the Gen Z vote forever ❌️ 🗳️⁠ ⁠ ✍️ @kimichaddahx ⁠ 🎨 @lo0wiz ⁠ #UKElection #Dazed

SZA is one of the most streamed and successful artists in the world right now. Yet the crowd during her Glastonbury performance was seemingly sparse and, in comparison to some of the other sets during the weekend, not the most energised. ⁠ ⁠ As more videos have emerged from the set, many have taken to social media calling it the lowest crowd for a headline set in the festival’s history. ⁠ ⁠ But is shifting blame onto an artist booked to do a job really fair?⁠ ⁠ Or should we be looking at those responsible for organising the festival and its demographics?⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in bio to read more 🔗⁠ ⁠ ✍️ @habi.lisa ⁠ 📸 Harry Durrant/Getty Images⁠ #Sza #Glastonbury #InDefenceOf
