The 21st issue of HYPEBEAST Magazine is dedicated to the new creative fronts forged by the digital interconnectedness of our generation. The new creative class is one that is free of job descriptions, free to reinvent themselves within the constantly-changing cultural fabric of the times.

Within The Renaissance Issue we have New York Sunshine, who have come to re-contextualize the worlds of art and retail as well as surf and basketball culture, all the while clearing up what it really means to live in the Hamptons. The godfather of creative entrepreneurship, Justin Saunders of JJJJound, speaks to us on the still-evolving idea of what it means to be a modern creative today. One of music’s currently fastest-rising stars, BROCKHAMPTON, chat with us on how a 14-member-strong creative force manages to function as an entirely self-sufficient unit. Places+Faces contribute an exclusive photo set within our pages – the photographer duo also regale us with their favorite parties and what they have planned for the future.

With a cover painted exclusively for HYPEBEAST Magazine by one of the youngest faces in the world of fine art – who got his start designing for streetwear label Rare Panther – The Renaissance Issue is a celebration of the novel perspectives and artistic avenues created by our generation.
