There has been an immense hype around the thought of the collaboration between the luxury designer Louis Vuitton and the street New York skate label. All of the collection has been released, from looking through the collection, what i have seen so far it looks like it may become one of the biggest fashion partnerships in history.
The collection entails elements of denim, sports bags, scarves, and shoes which all seem to be covered with supremes iconic logo, paired with the classic elements of louis Vuitton. When first looking through this collection i was immediately drawn to the scarfs, still looking like the luxury brands designs, though featuring block lettering adding an element of street style to the luxury brands iconic designs.
In 2000, the closest that Supreme got to an official collaboration with Louis Vuitton was a cease & desist letter for its Louis Vuitton inspired logo T-shirts, beanies, and skate decks. This has heightened the surprise and hype around the collaboration. They even featured the garments that Supreme allegedly copied from louis Vuitton back in 2000 which i know will heighten the surprise a lot of people have about the collaboration.
I am loving this collaboration. Supreme being that of a skater brand catered to a younger consumer and louis Vuitton being tough to afford for most of us, the fact they collaborated emphasises the idea that streetwear is evidently a huge component in the fashion industry that even inspire other designers. Supreme have a huge audience of younger consumers giving louis Vuitton a wider range of consumers. The collaboration has produced a huge following and given us a collection bigger than any other before.
