Quieres saber de dónde se inspira Supreme para hacer sus colecciones de ropa?

Hoy os hablamos de Supreme, la única marca en el mundo que lanza una colección y se agota al segundo, literal.

Desde sus inicios en 1994, su fundador James Jebbia, un inglés emigrado a Nueva York, creó una marca única bajo el nombre de Supreme, con su característico logo rojo y blanco que lo es todo, aunque justamente el diseño no fue mérito suyo, ya que siempre se ha dicho que lo sacó de los cuadros de la artista Barbara Kruger.

Aunque este es un tema interesante, de eso ya os hablaremos otro día, hoy la noticia es otra acerca de Supreme que también nos interesa bastante.

Todo aquel que le guste lo más mínimo la ropa, conoce la marca, famosa por sus básicos y sus prendas de ediciones extra limitadas, pero en realidad James no se calienta mucho la cabeza a la hora de sacar sus diseños, ya que muchos de ellos más que inspirados, es puro plagio.

Como en esta vida hay gente para todo, alguien ha descubierto que muchas de las prendas de Supreme, son un «copia y pega» o por decirlo de una manera más suave «rinde homenaje» o «hace referencia», a diseños vintage de otras marcas, prendas que han salido en películas, productos de limpieza, de comida y mucho más.

Esta persona ha querido compartir con el mundo su descubrimiento a través de una cuenta de Instagram con el nombre de @supreme_copies donde puedes ver en qué se ha inspirado el dueño de Supreme a la hora de hacer sus colecciones.

Como por ejemplo estos…

Another mafia/mob show reference from Supreme is S/S ’14 «Flamingo» button up shirt pictured left. The right images are from the pilot episode of «The Sopranos.» For those unfamiliar, Sopranos aired from ’99-’07 and revolved around Tony Soprano, a mob member balancing two types of family-immediate and mafia. Supremes had there hand at Sopranos before (box logo tee) but little do people know many pieces seen in the series are referenced by Supreme, and often. The Flamingo button up is a clear reference-with the black collar and almost exact same print- Supreme however did not make a pink colorway, possibly to stray away from the expected. If any Sopranos fans know of other pieces Supreme has referenced, feel free to send screenshots, I know there is some more.

I am definitely not the first to post this, but it is without a doubt a great one for the archive. Supremes ‘Banner Water Shorts’ from SS ’16 take inspiration from the above shorts by Adidas (circa ’90s-early 00’s). It makes sense as to why we see so many Adidas references, being that Supreme x Nike have had so many collaborations it’s unlikely the two companies will ever collaborate. However with team riders on both companies (@thatsonme @enwhytj and Gonz) there is still a chance something could occur. Una foto publicada por Supreme (@supreme_copies) el

One of the many inspired pieces of SS ’16 was the «Color Blocked Track Jacket.» Now- many are aware that the colors and pattern are inspired by that of a famous composition piece by Dutch Painter Piet Mondrian-circa early 1900’s. That is in fact true, however the inspiration for the piece itself stemmed from similar jacket/and sweaters in the 1990’s, featuring heavy blocks of various colors (not saying Supreme directly referenced Fresh Prince).

Annnnd here we go with tonight’s last post. Supreme released the ‘Plaid Rugby Polo’ in FW ’14. The piece is regarded as a Grail to many and lately has been a hard find (at least for a piece that released only two years ago). The polos inspiration stems from a piece by that of clothing brand «Stucture,» (Collar, pattern, cuffs, logo placement.) Structure was a brand that was spinned off from the popular retail stores ‘Express’ (Like Kirkland to Costco) and began in 1989. The brand had popularity throughout the ’90s and was later sold to Sears in 2003. Shoutout the homie @madmiiike for finding this one. Una foto publicada por Supreme (@supreme_copies) el

I apologize for the lack of posting yesterday, but no worries. Here’s another high fashion reference most aren’t aware of- SS ’15’s «Court Jacket,» appears as a simple staple piece for any wardrobe to have. Now, Yves Saint Laurent is a name I’m sure most familiar with rap and fashion know by now, but for those unfamiliar, Saint Laurent is a high end/luxury fashion brand out of Paris that began in 1961. The piece featured on the left can be anywhere from the 70’s-90’s, no denying it is vintage.

This exact reference happened to be recalled shortly after release. The tee, pictured right, is the «Candy Girl» released in SS ’15. Pictured left, a bag of Fujiya ‘Milky’ candies. Milky candies are a chewy, caramel like candy, highly concentrated with milk and are based out of Japan. The company started in 1951 and aren’t unusual to find anywhere in the states (you can order some on Amazon for $4 if not). Why this particular tee was recalled is beyond me-though having to do with a cease and desist from ‘Milky’ I assume. However, the image of the candy girl is almost just as interesting (but also disturbing) as he tee being recalled. Fujiya ‘Milky’ made there logo based off the old folk story of a hungry little girl during WWII, whose mother cut off a piece of her own flesh to feed the girl, who upon eating it had a huge ‘contented smile’- therefore the logo of the little girl with the ‘contented smile.’ Almost more disturbing is the Japanese phrase below the candy reads «milky taste of mom.» Shoutout to @fairfaxfiend for the info on the backstory.
