Who has the best beard in fashion? The Unknown Hipster of course.
If you aren’t already in the know (daaarhling), The Unknown Hipster is the creation of hugely successful illustrator Jean-Philippe Delhomme – think Barneys, Louis Vuitton, Maison Kitsuné and Sotheby’s – who’s blog of the same name has been delighting audiences since its creation in 2009.
Delhomme’s inspiration comes from observing ‘hipster’ life from his adopted home of Bushwick NYC. ‘I see so many potential subjects it is endlessly inspiring. Bushwick is a free ground. It’s not too obvious, there is still some subtlety and wideness, but also chaos—it’s not finished, not perfect,’
In “The Unknown Hipster Diaries”, Delhomme toys with the idea of authenticity and the death of subculture. “We feel more confident when our life looks like a spectacle,” he says. “People are obsessed with staging their life in a way so it looks like a scene from a movie, or something. With hipsters, the big thing is so-called authenticity but in reality it’s all been done before. Hipsters are just better businessmen than hippies but I don’t think either are subcultures. Subculture is dead. In this age, subcultures become documented immediately and therefore are mainstream instantly.”
