Issue 25: The Mania Issue
Hypebeast Issue 25: The Mania Issue
"For HYPEBEASTS Magazine's commemorative 25th edition, we chose to focus on "Mania" - the blindsided obsession, the fixation driven almost to the point of madness that serve as apt descriptors for our culture of blind materialism today.
Within the issue, we explore different facets of mania - careers which require decades of intense concentration such as that of a chef, visual artist, craftsman, athlete - as well as sectors situated at the epicenter of youth (and adult) fixation including video games and football. We asked the man who often finds himself in the thick of it all, Takashi Murakami, to front this issue's cover with one of his instantly recognisable works - along with a resealable box that comes in three colourways. he speaks to us about the darker side of his works, and jhis journey to becoming one of the most prolific contemporary artists of today." - HYPEBEAST
Also featuring Tyshawn Jones, Grant Achatz, Rockstar Games, Sonya Sombreuil, Joe Holder and Shun Hirose, this issue is not only a nod to the collecting and coveting habits that most hypebeasts have now honed to perfection, it's also a tribute to the creators who make it possible. Why do we desire a certain shoe or t-shirt? It may not be worth the 2 day lineup - or it might - but the real marvel here are the ones capable of making us act this way. You could say that we're here fot it, obviously.
