Louis Vuitton and the brand Supreme: a legendary collaboration.
In 2017, an unexpected collaboration began between the House of couture Louis Vuitton and Supreme, the ultra-trendy New York streetwear brand. The two fashion giants joined forces for the 2017-2018 Autumn-Winter collection. Louis Vuitton is a prestigious French House specialising in luxury leather goods and founded in 1854. Since the noughties, the brand has extended its field of activity to encompass ready-to-wear. As for Supreme, the brand has a very different story to tell. In the beginning, in 1994, it was a modest store devoted to the world of skaters. That was before the meteoric success of the brand in New York thanks its founder, a genius by the name of James Jebbia. For over 20 years now, there have been a succession of collaborations with major labels like Nike, Vans and Timberland. Communication is definitely one of the label’s strong points. With Louis Vuitton, what you get is an exclusive blend of luxury and sportswear.
A successful fusion of different styles.
This legendary collaboration is a golden opportunity for the brand Vuitton to reach a whole new generation with urban references and to step off the beaten track. As it turns out, the story came to an early end at the orders of the French House of Louis Vuitton. The pop-up stores selling the two brands were closed before the scheduled dates. That the collaboration came to a premature conclusion only reinforces the legendary, rare and coveted status of the pieces on sale prior to the closure.
Through this capsule collection between Louis Vuitton and Supreme, we can find ready-to-wear items and also leather goods, accessories and jewellery. The brand's streetwear DNA is instantly recognisable with the dominance of the colour red. The famous Monogram is also revisited with Supreme's colour and logo. This collection is a tasteful blend of French elegance and know-how and the cultural codes of New York streetwear. You can also find bowling bags, bum bags, blousons and also iPhone cases.
