Undoubtedly one of the most iconic collaborations of recent times, the fusion of skate brand Supreme and luxury powerhouse Louis Vuitton birthed a collection that left an indelible mark. This collaboration spanned a range of items, from denim jackets to red and white waist bags, backpacks, handbags, and pouches, all adorned with delightful co-branding that served as a testament to this powerful partnership. Guided by the creative vision of Louis Vuitton's former menswear artistic director, Kim Jones, these seemingly disparate fashion styles harmoniously converged, resulting in a collection that resonated with fashion enthusiasts.
Kim Jones revealed that the inspiration behind this collaboration extended beyond fashion, drawing from the vibrant energy of New York City. Additionally, the collaborative methods of artistic luminaries such as Jean-Michèle Basquiat, Keith Haring, Julian Schnabel, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Andy Warhol played a pivotal role in shaping the collection. The amalgamation of skate culture with the luxurious aesthetics of Louis Vuitton, guided by the influence of these artistic trailblazers, created a collection that not only reflected the essence of New York but also demonstrated the powerful synergy between seemingly disparate creative realms.
