When Supreme opened its doors on Lafayette Street in New York City in 1994, there was no telling that the rebellious skate brand would transform into one of the most recognized labels in the world. This week the streetwear empire celebrates its 25th anniversary, an impressive feat in itself, with a special take on its box logo design in collaboration with Swarovski.
Supreme is not the only brand celebrating a milestone this week, Palace will also be dropping a special capsule to mark the grand opening of its Los Angeles flagship. Anyone looking for some new threads this week can also look forward to the first drop from John Elliott's Pre-Fall 2019 collection, Eric Emanuel's latest work with Adidas, select pieces from Dior Men x Hajime Sorayama, and a Bape x Marvel capsule to coincide with opening weekend of Avengers: Endgame.
Check out a more detailed look at this week's best style releases below.
