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.
