"The world of the hypebeast has led to a virtual destruction of the traditional delineation between street and "high" fashion. Limited edition pieces enjoy global cult status, draw thousands of hopeful purchasers, and can resell for up to 10-20x retail immediately after release on sites like Grailed.
