‘New ideas. New dimensions. New frontiers.’
Hypebeast is an urban lifestyle magazine, looking at fashion, streetwear and design which ‘studies complex cultural shifts, influential ideas, and innovators on the precipice of change’.
Marking two decades at the forefront of streetwear, Hypebeast celebrates its 20th anniversary with this ‘Platinum Issue’—a reflection on their roots, evolution and the future. On the covers and inside, meet the pioneers of streetwear through the decades: Comme des Garçons Homme styles A$AP Nast in a striking photo series; artist George Condo on four decades of psychological cubism; and Seventeen’s S.Coups and Mingyu debut as CxM. Also inside: Cecilie Bahnsen’s signature frills and florals, plus, a studio visit with James Blake.
