Supreme Photography
American
Supreme’s ascent from neighborhood cult favorite to auction star is a master class in brand marketing, based on creating hard-to-build desire. Launched in New York City in 1994, the iconic streetwear brand with a subversive attitude has attracted a following that ranges from downtown skaters to fashion's elite.
After a short-lived stint as a salesman for downtown Manhattan store Parachute and running a Stüssy branch as well as his own retail outlet, Union, British ex-pat James Jebbia opened Supreme, “the cool, cool shop … no big brands or anything.” The founder and director sold skateboards and sneakers, beanies, tees and hoodies while movies like Mean Streets and loud hip-hop played in the background, attracting a young downtown crowd of skateboarders, artists and entrepreneurs who found the store’s counterculture ethos appealing.
With success came brand collaborations big and small — all tightly controlled by Jebbia, who is renowned for unfailing business instincts — ensuring waiting lists and lines at new product launches. A 2012 partnership with Comme des Garçons brought Supreme avant-garde fashion followers with deeper pockets.
“I don’t think enough people take risks, and when you do, people respond — in music, in art, in fashion,” Jebbia told Vogue. He seemed to be taking a risk working with big brands. But although some fans accused him of selling out with Supreme’s Fall/Winter 2017 collaboration with Louis Vuitton, most did not, including the winning bidder for the Malle trunk at Christie’s.
A curated “Artist Series” of Supreme skate decks was inaugurated in 2001 when the then-not-so-famous street artist KAWS, aka Brian Donnelly, designed his Chum boards, a pair of which, signed, went for $32,000, four times their estimate, at the “Handbags X Hype” sale. The series now includes creations by Cindy Sherman, Nan Goldin, Damien Hirst, the Chapman Brothers and George Condo.

"Persephone" contemporary and elegant, mixed media photography on wood, hi-gloss
By Hugo Garcia-Urrutia
Located in Dallas, TX
This is a beautiful contemporary photograph of a Greek sculpture. The photograph is processed in a way that the grain of the wood eventually becomes the "canvas" and backdrop for this image. It is processed directly on Baltic birch wood using archival inks and is then sealed with a durable Hi-gloss lacquer.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024To tell if a Louis Vuitton x Supreme hoodie is real, look at the drawstring along the hemline. The drawstring on a real Louis Vuitton x Supreme hooded sweatshirt will be flat and not extend past the logo graphic. Replicas often feature rope-like rounded drawstrings or extra-long drawstrings. The neck tag can also help you determine authenticity. Compare the size, font style and other characteristics of the tag on your hoodie to images of labels from authentic pieces displayed on trusted online resources. Double-check the stitching that secures the tag to the hoodie as well. If the stitching is loose, uneven or misaligned, your hoodie may be counterfeit. If you have any remaining concerns about authenticity, seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or expert authenticator.
