HB100 celebrates global innovators of fashion and culture

Hypebeast, the leading authority on youth culture, officially unveils the 2017 HB100. HB100 is a celebration of individuals within fields such as fashion and design, who have created authentic and consistent messages within today’s cultural landscape. Each year, committee of editors and contributors come together to highlight these personalities as the driving forces of innovation, influence and inspiration—resulting in work that is memorable and outstanding. Now in its fourth year, HB100 continues to honor the 100 individuals who have challenged our imagination, shaped new fashion trends, and continue to provoke design and creativity.

“For the past four years, HB100 has been a selection of 100 individuals with the most memorable and standout work. This year, we are elevating this annual showcase, making it more celebratory with a special event and printed book honoring their incredible work,” says Kevin Ma, Chief Executive Officer at Hypebeast Group.

“Additionally, for the very first time, we will have the HB Awards, an extension of HB100 with distinguished categories that honor those who have excelled in the field of fashion including Best Brand, Best Emerging Brand, Best Footwear Brand, Best Retailer, as well as Best Collaboration. Congratulations to all our 2017 HB100 innovators and HB Award Recipients.”

The HB100 book will feature special interviews with HB100 selectees, who have share their personal 2017 highlights and insights on their progressing careers. Bringing the entire program together, HB100 will come together with a first-ever celebration during the Miami Art Basel show on Thursday, December 7.

The HB100 List will be unveiled after the HB100 event on Friday, December 8. Visit https://hypebeast.com/ hb100/2017 on that day for the unveil and stay tuned to Hypebeast’s Instagram for more upcoming news.
