It appears Supreme and Louis
Vuitton are ready
to put their tumultuous past behind them. The hotly anticipated collaboration
between the streetwear label and the ultra-luxe Paris fashion house could be
just around the corner, after what look to be leaked images featuring various
items from the high profile collaboration popped up on Instagram Tuesday.
One of the leaks came straight
from Luis Vuitton’s Artistic Director Kim Jones, who posted (then quickly deleted) an
Instagram featuring a sticker mash-up of the two brands.
The collaboration, when released,
is expected to be one of the most monumental and sought after fashion items of
the year, especially since just over a decade ago Supreme and LV were at war
after Supreme dropped a skate deck with LV’s monogram plastered all over it. At
the time, the French label was adamant that all decks using its logo be
torched.
Since then, the line between
streetwear and high fashion has collapsed (thanks Virgil Abloh!) and a collaboration between two
of the most popular brands in their respective spaces was only a matter of
time.
The
question now becomes: will the cool kids and fashionistas embrace this
collision of worlds? Judging by the online reaction to the leaked pieces, the
answer is a resounding: HELL YES.
