HYPEBEAST Magazine Issue 24: The Agency Issue

We speak to Mat and Robbie from Bravado, the minds behind merch for the likes of Astroworld and Kids See Ghosts, and why it’s more than just a T-shirt. Paria Farzaneh, one of London’s top emerging designers, tells us about what it’s like to break into the fashion industry on her own. Another story of freedom won through hardship is that of Scott Tepper, who tells us about his days sneaking into F.I.T. design courses, the exact number of photos currently on his phone (42,708), and on keeping Ignored Prayers a creative agent free from commercial pressure. Then there’s the photo essay from SHABBAAAAA.

HYPEBEAST Magazine Issue 24: The Agency Issue is a collection of stories which demonstrate just how much sacrifice and blind, bullish stubbornness is needed to bring a vision to life. Yet this snippet of conversation with Mr. Ai Weiwei probably sums it up better than we can: “It brought me some very beautiful moments, and of course a lot of hurt and struggle. But it’s worth it, you know.”
