Supreme X Malcom Mclaren
From: Supreme
"Malcolm McLaren was born in 1946 in the suburbs of London, England. In 1971, he and then partner Vivienne Westwood opened a shop inspired by the Teddy Boy movement called Let It Rock at 430 Kings Road.
In 1972, McLaren met the New York Dolls on a trip to New York City and took on the role as their manager and designer of the band's stagewear. He changed the name of his shop to Too Fast To Live Too Young To Die. But after the brand's breakup in 1975, McLaren turned his focus to fetish wear that paved the way for punk via his newly named shop, SEX. When he met Johnny Rotten on the street one day that year, McLaren formed and managed The Sex Pistols, the legendary band that would be the vehicle for this new look and attitude. Shortly after the release of their first and only album "Never Mind The Bullocks, Here's The Sex Pistols" the band disbanded.
In 1983 McLaren embarked on a solo musical career with the release of his album "Duck Rock" Fusing elements of the then newly emerging hip-hop sound with more traditional African and American music, McLaren scored major hits with tracks like Buffalo Gals, World's Famous, and D'Ya Like Scratchin. The album was a collaboration with "The World Famous Supreme Team" that was Just Allah and See Divine, two emcees from New York City. They also hosted a radio show called "The World Famous Supreme Team Show". Mclaren also worked on the album with key artists of the time, Dondi White and Keith Haring, among others."
The Collection Features Shoes, Accessories and apparel inspired by Mclaren and which feature some interesting graphics. I Definitely will try to purchase this WHOLE COLLECTION because most of these pieces have imagery of the early Zulu Nation as well as my favorite artist Keith Haring and another famous newyork artist whom I admire by the name of Dondi White. As a die hard fan of the man who inspired this blog( Keith Haring), I'm glad Supreme decided to do a collection on Malcom Mclaren who is a visionary in not only music culture but art culture and hip-hop overall as an art form.

Supreme X APC
Excerpt From interview (rough translation): I am also preparing 2 projects with Supreme this summer, a pure and tough/hard skate and streetwear company in New York: a t-shirt and a pair of raw jeans with "FUCK 'EM" written on the pocket.
Yep its official the biggest name in street wear has yet another collaborator. APC's founder, Jean Touitou unveiled the collabo in an interview. Be prepared for some serious denim that's all i have to say, and don't forget these might cost a pretty pennie this just screams hype.You can check the interview out here.

Supreme X Vans
Ive been a fan of supreme for years and and even bigger fan of Vans this collabo although not my favorite, will most def turn some heads. They did a sick twist to two of Vans classic shoes the Authentics and the Half Cabs.
