John, Co-Founder and Editor-in-chief: My Wishlist!!
Born and brought up in Ivory Coast, I eventually settled in Paris in 2005 as I was 16. During the last 6 years, I have been working hard to get into the top French Business School: with 4 years’ cramming experience at Lycée Henri IV in Paris, I entered ESSEC Business School in the Parisian area.
Now, I am a 22-year old fashion and design enthusiast still in search of HIS own style. Looking for Beauty and Elegance induced me into thinking about what is my definition of hype. Indeed, this website that I co-founded last August is the support of my thoughts. Yet, my thoughts are not only focused on men’s trends: I take much interest in women’s fashion, notably in women’s shoes (see the shoe porn gallery) and minimalist styles, such as Céline’s.
Enamored of any kind of nice stuffs and looks, I fancy shooting them with my Canon SLR either in Paris or overseas. Thus, if I had to pick one single inspiration, I would say Hedi Slimane for his revolutionary work for Dior Homme and his talents as an independent photograph.

THIBAULT, CO-FOUNDER AND EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Undergraduate, bored at school, trapped in finance classes. Wanna be a money maker so fuck art, let’s be hedge-fund manager. Waiting for school to end up, I funded this site in the summer 2010 to share my enthusiasm and all visually moving pictures. So this will be the deposit of my thoughts, my dreams, my addictions.
Hype does mean everything. You can’t deny that. It says fashion, it says music, design, art, culture and so many things at the same time. I can’t stand close-minded people, but if like me, you believe sandals are not shoes, then you’re in the right place.
I abandoned my Air Force 1 to rock my double-monks. Bow-tied and starry-eyed. 24/7 geek. I’m the nerd next door, wearing suits for no reason. Love girls with oversized glasses.
Oh and yeah, my favourite quote : “Too big to fail”
Everything you should have in your suitcase
