Ahead of Hypebeast Flea New York on May 18 and 19, Hypebeast is spotlighting each of the event's more than 30 vendors by giving an overview of their practice, their inspirations, and what they plan to bring to the event. Hypebeast Flea New York is free to attend — RSVP HERE
Infamously open for business 365 days a year – kicking off the day after noon and staying open until midnight – downtown Manhattan establishment Village Works compiles all kinds of “words” under its roof, ranging from classic literature to hand-crafted zines. Besides its cornucopia of print offerings, Village Works is a catalyst for creation, opening its doors (and walls) up to local artists to leave their mark with art exhibitions. It also hosts other interactive events like book signings, readings and pop-ups from artists and brands alike.
