One of the biggest names out there for street wear right now is Supreme. Obey can take a step back, as more and more I'm seeing Supreme everywhere. This brand is associated with skateboarding, hip hop, and even punk rock. Nowadays Supreme seems to be taking over as the most iconic brand in streetwear. Their campaigns and they way they are able to advertise their collection, as a part of a lifestyle, makes it essential for many different fashion styles. I think their brand is supposed to express that anyone can wear Supreme and make it their own style, not just skaters or hipsters.
Celebrities who have been seen wearing Supreme include

Kate Moss

Lady Gaga

Drake

and Tyler the Creator.
Personally I'm surprised Supreme isn't being worn by more celebrities, especially those that are younger.
But lately, even GQ is taking notice, as you can see above Tyler the Creator is photographed wearing Supreme. The angle GQ took with this article was: "What do Tyler the Creator and GQ's Style Guy Glenn O'Brien have in common? A love for Supreme clothing." The point of the article was basically to illustrate the versality of the Supreme brand. Tyler wears it in a way that reflects hip hop, and has a more "street fashion" feel to it. However O'Brien is able to wear it and not look too ridiculous. O'Brien wears Supreme in a way that's respectable for his age, and it doesn't come off as a mid-life crisis plea to 'fit in,' (as it usually does when older people try to wear street fashion brands).
The article is available here, and there's an entertaining interview in which Tyler and O'Brien both talk about how they came across the Supreme brand.
I'm all for it, and to be quite honest, I'm a huuge sweater homebody type of person (I mean, when I'm not decked out in my glitter heels like I wrote in my previous post..), SO I'm thinking about investing in one of their infamous hoodies. That said, it seems like polka dots are in for their newest collection, and shopping on their website is pretty difficult right now because almost everything is sold out! Ridiculous. At least one of the actual stores isn't too far away (they have one in Los Angeles on Fairfax).
So the main two things I have my eye on is one of these hoodies (I'd want one in black)

And the shoes on the left. These are just way too cute to pass up. A black hoodie, black leather leggings plus these shoes? Just add in a couple of gold accessories to it and I'm set.

What would you sport from Supreme?
