About
CxM, a reboot of Complex Magazine, is a celebration of Complex's legacy as a cultural tastemaker, reimagined for a dynamic future. Each quarterly issue is helmed by a different artistic director, transforming the magazine itself into a collectible art object that pushes boundaries and remixes the worlds of streetwear, music, and beyond. This reboot launches simultaneously with the dynamic visual identity refresh of Complex (formerly ComplexCon) while offering a deeper dive into curated content, thought-provoking features, and cutting-edge visuals. Fans can discover the latest issue and explore a digital archive of past Complex publications on the accompanying eCommerce micro-site.
