SUPREME

The first monograph on iconic New York independent street fashion brand Supreme.
In April 1994, Supreme opened on Lafayette Street in midtown Manhattan and became the home of New York City's skate culture. Challenging the dominance of the established West Coast skate scene and the new conservatism of 1990s New York, Supreme defined the aesthetic of an era of rebellious cool that spanned from skaters to fashionistas to hip-hop heads.
Over the past sixteen years, the brand has stayed true to its roots while collaborating with some of the most revolutionary artists and designers of its generation. With stores in Los Angeles and Japan, it has become an international icon of independent countercultural style.
This definitive monograph—featuring written contributions from opposing style arbiters Aaron Bondaroff and Glenn O'Brien, and including an interview between founder James Jebbia and artist KAWS—brings together the disparate elements of the brand's output, from legendary ad campaigns to specially commissioned skateboard designs, photographs, and artwork, as well as a comprehensive index of their products to date.
Featuring collaborations with Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, Damien Hirst, Public Enemy, Lou Reed and Futura 2000, among others, this lavishly illustrated book is a snapshot of sixteen years of contemporary fashion and street culture reflected in the pioneering work of one of New York's most influential independent labels.
