Complex is a multifaceted media platform serving content on youth culture that's based out of New York City. It initially launched as a bi-monthly magazine aimed at young males (ages 16-29), founded by fashion designer Mark Eckō in 2002, but quickly became attracted to the fast-developing digital field, and after the January/December 2016 issue, which featured Pusha T and Sofia Richie on the cover, ceased its print operation.[1][2] Online, Complex reaches over 90 million unique users per month across all of its different properties, which include owned-and-operated staples such as video series Complex News and music site Pigeons and Planes.[3] Complex reports on fashion, pop culture, music, sports, sneakers and, most recently, politics, usually doing so through a niche cultural lens that favors the tastes of streetwear and hip-hop.
