The first monograph on the iconic independent New York street fashion label Supreme. In April 1994, Supreme opened its doors on Lafayette Street in downtown Manhattan and became the home of New York City skate culture. Challenging the dominance of the established Wes Coast skater scene and the new conservatism of 1990s New York, Supreme defined the aesthetic of an era of rebellious cool that reached from skaters to fashionistas and hip hop heads. Over the last sixteen years, the brand has stayed true to its roots while collaborating with some of the most groundbreaking artists and designers of its generation, and with stores in Los Angeles and Japan has become an international icon of independent counter-cultural style. This definitive monograph - with written contributions from contrasting arbiters of style, Aaron Bondaroff and Glenn O'Brien, and including an interview between founder James Jebbia and the artist KAWS - brings together the disparate elements of the brand's output, from legendary advertising campaigns to especially commissioned skateboard designs, photographs, and artworks, and a comprehensive index of their products to date. Including collaborations with Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, Damien Hirst, Public Enemy, Lou Reed, and Futura 2000 among many others, this richly illustrated book is a survey of sixteen years of contemporary street fashion and culture reflected in the pioneering work of one of New York's most influential independent labels. Review: So cool - Love Supreme, love this book Review: Cool book to have, will impress guests no end! - Nice Book, quite inspiring, now it's collecting dust until I get my own house!

Dope time capsule great photos
As soon as I saw the first few images in this book I felt like I'd made the right purchase. This book DOES represent an important part of skate culture with images of some of skateboardings Icons. Naturally along with that you get the legit skate fashion side of things . I wore a wry smile on my face at times looking through this book and seeing images of shoes and clothes that i had worn and coveted in the past...I don't own a sigle item of SUPREME clothing by the way but still enjoy owning this book . Might have to cop myself some of there garm's...?

This book contains x-rated and pornographic imagery
I bought this book for my 13-year old son, who loves Supreme and skateboarding. Luckily, I looked inside before I gave it to him, because there's a section in the book containing explicit images of naked women and porn imagery. This book needs to come with a warning.

Very disappointed with this book
I bought this book purely for the photography. I don't know a lot about the history of Supreme but I was pretty disappointed with the content of the book after finally getting the opportunity to look through. I hoped to find a book full of photographs of skateboarding and all things revolving around that subject. Instead I found that this book is based more around Supreme as a fashion with photographs of well known faces wearing shirts that displayed the brand. The book (in my opinion) wasn't really about skateboarding at all, it was about a brand and that brand being a fashion statement. Had I known what the content of this book would've been I wouldn't have purchased it. The use of the words "skate culture" within the title of this book are really quite misleading. I don't feel that this book touches upon skate culture very much at all. There are probably a total of 4/5 pages that do so..the rest of the books content is a dull waste of paper and print.

Supremeの歩み
ショップがオープンした'94年から'09年までの、 「Supremeの歩み」を写真として見ることができます。 ひとつだけ残念な点は、プロダクトページに シューズ、Tシャツ、キャップしかないことです。 個人的にはパーカーも見たかった。。。 Supremeが好きな人は是非！

Half book, half amazing
It is so much better than the cover photo. I put off buying this because the photo on the cover was weak, but I pulled the trigger recently and wow is it good! High quality. Huge. and same size as the other supreme book that just came out so they look great together. Skateboarders, get this!

This book is the best book I have ever owned
Oh my. This book is the best book I have ever owned. The quality of the pictures and the history of supreme is amazing. The cover of the book is a logo of Supreme and shape of skateboard. I love that so much I put it on my wall! This book is kind of expensive but really rare!!
