We speak to two of the most relevant retail presences today on the nature of change – Dover Street Market on its biannual chameleonic undertakings, and colette in an attempt to immortalize them within our pages as a fond farewell. We sit down with “The King,” LeBron James, to chat about the future of NBA players, on being a cultural figure and using influence in the right ways – in short, about everything but basketball. The masterminds behind the world’s first autonomous racing league, Roborace, have also decked out their proprietary race car in custom HYPEBEAST livery. We talk to them about why driverless racing is the future, and follow their attempts to push self-driving technology to its limits.
THE TEMPORAL ISSUE
HYPEBEAST Magazine Issue 19: The Temporal Issue retails for $15 USD and is available at select retailers and newsstands worldwide.
The chief aim of Issue 19 is to examine the notion of impermanence, an idea especially poignant in today’s culture of hype where trends die premature deaths after the briefest of moments in the limelight. It only makes sense to cover labels and collectives as varied in age as possible, from the centuries-old, distinguished craftsmanship of Goyard to labels still gasping from the clutches of youthful angst such as Enfants Riches Déprimés and RHUDE.
Within the Temporal Issue, we delve into colorful pasts, the stories of the present and the minds busily shaping the future, in an effort to capture a snapshot of the myriad forces at work which guide and define our generation.
Our magazine often finds itself in constant negotiation between what is interesting now versus what will remain so for the years to come, seeking that liminal space perfectly balanced between timelessness and novelty. Sometimes, we end up in the company of esteemed fashion houses which have persevered for generations, and at other times we find ourselves speaking with bright young things with futures as uncertain as our own – yet it so happens that the time-centric Temporal Issue includes all of the above.
Most HYPEBEAST readers are accustomed to visiting this website for the latest news and quality content in the realm of street culture. As a company cheekily defined by chasing the hottest, most hyped products of the moment, our print edition is held to the same standards, only there’s often something extra thrown into the mix.
