A weekend review consists of 5 important things in fashion that happened this week that we have hand selected. Stay in the loop with everything that is going on without having to search through multiple articles. We have condensed everything into one for your convenience. Check out what happened in fashion this week below.
HYPEBEAST 5 Year Magazine Anniversary Party
This week marked HYPEBEAST's 5 year anniversary of their printed magazine. In celebration of their 18 printed issues, they hosted an event at a 2 story gallery space in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. At the event, there was music, tequila, and a gallery of all of their 18 issues to date. Industry heads, influencers, and literal hype beasts attended the event, but sadly it reached capacity and had to come to an early end. All in all the event was sick and a good outlet for networking. Congrats HYPEBEAST!
Shane Gonzales Influencer Sale with Grailed
Midnight Studios designer, Shane Gonzales teamed up with Grailed for another super exclusive influencer sale. Shane is known for his love for Undercover & Raf Simons, and he sold a bunch of his personal archive through Grailed for some great deals. Among some of the best items were a pair of Raf Simons "Consumed" bondage trousers, Undercover "Scab" flared trousers, and a simple pair of Number Nine sweat shorts. Check out the full interview and sale here.
Supreme Brooklyn Box Logo Release
Supreme Brooklyn will be opening up shop very soon (September), becoming NYC's second Supreme location. In celebration of the new store opening, Supreme is rumored to be releasing these two colorways of the distressed box logo tee. Reputable Supreme news account @supreme_leaks_news posted the rendering of the rumored box logo above. Supreme hasn't announced anything yet, but we will definitely be seeing some sort of Brooklyn store exclusive in September.
Tyler the Creator x Converse Drop
Tyler the Creator recently teamed up with Converse for 4 exclusive colorways of the growing popular 1-star sneaker.

Virgil Abloh's Off-White just opened its NYC flagship entitled "em__ty__gallery" on 51 Mercer street this week. The store interior is reflective of Off-White's F/W 17' presentation which featured fallen leaves covering the runway. The store itself has a small selection of footwear, Warby Parker collaboration sunglasses, and a curated selection of clothing. The store will be a creative space that will continually change and evolve. The store will also be one of the hosts for the upcoming release of the Off-White Jordan 1's on September 1st.
