Hypebeast Magazine Issue 33: The System Issue
Shelflife Online Store presents the Hypebeast Magazine Issue 33: The System Issue - 1016181.
Hypebeast Magazine #33 is called The Systems Issue, as we explore not just why people create what they create but how they do it the processes and approaches that have led to success, growth, influence, and community.
On top of the work itself, this means spotlighting artists’ networks, collaborators, and lines of communication to audiences, as well as how those factors affect their practices.
For our cover star Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, this means going independent in both fashion and music with the relaunch of YZY and the release of VULTURES 1 (and soon VULTURES 2 and 3) through his own platforms. In an exclusive interview, the perennial iconoclast explains how building his own systems has led to him being “the happiest I’ve ever been in my life,” on top of feeling the most authentic connection with his fans since The College Dropout.
Systems can also imply a dedication to a method and methodology, such as designer Jiyong Kim utilizing weather and the elements to create his one-of-one, sun-bleached garments. Or Harmony Korine’s tech-design EDGLRD collective, which embraces a “throw sh*t at the wall and see what sticks” approach to evolving the state of film, video games, and skateboarding.
The issue also includes features on trailblazing musicians like Rauw Alejandro, Flying Lotus, Balming Tiger and Aminé, plus coverage of fashion’s most nuanced players like Dingyun Zhang, PROLETA RE ART, Bárbara Sánchez-Kane, Fantasy Explosion, Leisure Centre, Intramural Shop, PRIX Workshop, and more.
Other articles spotlight some of the most exciting artists and brands making waves in 2024 and beyond: Jah Jah Paris, GX1000, Goldwin, 550BC, Ochiai Shohei, dooo, and a photo diary by Cian Moore.
Every individual’s system is unique, and here we examine how these luminaries manifested their own in order to spur creativity, innovation, and acclaim.
