HYPEBEAST was launched in January 2005 as a one-stop news source for internet-savvy fashion enthusiasts. Frustrated with having to browse multiple sites to keep up with the latest information, the creation of HYPEBEAST allowed for the latest news to be broadcasted through one specific medium. HYPEBEAST continues to inform and inspire trendsetters around the world. The growth of Hypebeast has seen its focus transcend from its initial roots to encompass all forms of fashion, arts, design and culture - making it the premier online magazine for cultural enthusiasts, tastemakers and influencers alike.
