Supreme is back and gearing up for the Fall/Winter 2024 season. Shortly after teasers hinting at Tyler, the Creator and Supreme’s collaboration, the titular streetwear imprint is back with its full FW24 collection. The expansive offering touches on all of Supreme’s core categories — jackets, sweatshirts, tops, tees, pants, hats, bags, beanies and accessories — emphasizing on transitional outerwear pieces that lean towards highlighting coziness and comfort. Oversized bomber silhouettes come in an array of textures and materials, confirming a continued partnership with Schott NYC for the leather collared jacket as well as a long-time friend of the house Vanson for a co-branded suede hoodie. Puffer jackets make their way back to the lineup alongside fleece jackets featuring the iconic image of Kate Moss, as Supreme gears up for the cooler weather. Shirts range from striped to corduroy, paisley and plaid, giving a broad spectrum of pieces for any occasion. Original artworks by Mister Cartoon an Frank Frazetta see the two artists return to Supreme for wardrobe staples like leather jackets, hooded sweaters, track jackets and pants, t-shirts, skateboards and more. Rumors of the Tyler, the Creator collaboration is confirmed with a box-tee inception of the viral image on one of the Supreme’s staple t-shirts. Varsity jackets, football and baseball jerseys continue to make a play for the athletic trend while the Nike footwear collaboration returns with the all-new Air Force 1 Mid. Chenille sweaters and sweater vests keep it cozy for the FW24 season while Snow White makes an appearance to add a touch of nostalgia to the t-shirts and leather jackets. Headwear features a range of caps and beanies while accessories see one-of-a-kind collaborations like the Brooklyn Machine Works Hardtail Park Bike, zodiac pendant necklaces by Jacob & Co. and even Swarovski encrusted box cutters. Supreme’s FW24 collection will see its regular weekly releases, starting with its first drop arriving on August 22, and in Asia on August 24. Take a complete look at the seasonal range below. Supreme gears up for the transition from the warmer season to cooler temperatures, with a selection of outerwear pieces for FW4. Included in the mix are classic jackets from Supreme’s long-time and frequent collaborators like Schott NYC and Vanson. From oversized leather bomber jackets to varsity jackets and collared fleeces the seasonal collection offers a broad range of selections. Entering into the winter months, fur-hooded parkas along with puffer jackets make their way back to the collection alongside Supreme-emblazoned padded denim jackets and motorcross pullovers. The Western theme is evident in the studded collared chore jackets while the classic imagery of Kate Moss is a main highlight of the shearling jacket. Mister Cartoon and Frank Frazetta’s signature artwork also appear on outerwear pieces this season. The tromp l’oeil hooded work jacket featuring original artwork by HJR is also a standout piece. From plaid to striped to corduroy and even eclectic patterns, Supreme leans back into the ’90s for its shirts collections. Box-cut button-ups come in washed denim, paisley and even give a nod to the Disney favorite cartoon Snow White. Alongside traditional button-downs are zipped up plaid shirts reminiscent of collared chore jackets. Playful imagery like Mister Cartoon black and white comic and AOI’s “Fck Me” and “Fck You” artwork adorn the pieces. Full chenille chest and woven detailing highlights Supreme’s sweater collection. All about staying cozy, the sweaters are meant to be worn as its own individual statement pieces. Seasonal-inspired graphics such as tobogganing down a snowy hill, tie the collection into the wintery theme. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves are the key characters to the sweater range while vibrant cardigans and sweater vests can add to to the wardrobe rotation. Vivid knitwear is broken up by mohair hoodies and acrylic long-sleeve, collared sweaters, making for a wide range of offerings for the FW24 season. The previously rumored Tyler, The Creator collaboration finds its way to the t-shirts. The viral image of the rapper wearing a green Supreme box-logo t-shirt becomes the highlight graphic for the t-shirts. Mister Cartoon’s black and white comic strip makes an appearance on a classic black tee as does Frank Frazetta’s font styling for the Supreme logo. Taking Supreme’s sticker tagging to a new level, the miscellaneous tagging appears as a part of a t-shirt design, alongside graphics that give a nod to NYC. Continuing the athletic-themed aesthetic, football, soccer and baseball jerseys are prominently highlighted. Soccer jerseys featuring Frazetta’s warrior imagery, are presented alongside Supreme-emblazoned and varsity inspired branding. From rugby shirts featuring race-inspired logos to simplistic mesh, camo-print baseball jerseys and retro American football jerseys marking the FW24 collection to prep-focused striped collared pull-overs, the Supreme tops have a wide range of offerings for any style. Being comfortable and cozy is the name of the game. Staying true to its wardrobe staples, Supreme branded hoodies reign king, arriving in solid color blocking like vibrant royal blue, Supreme red and classic black. The zip-up hoodie takes on a varsity state aesthetic with the branding while others embody the ever classic camo print and Kate Moss model image. Sweats come in the form of quarter zips as well as crew necks to round out the offerings. From denim classics to chore pants, Supreme’s wide range of selections arrive in various colors, materials and textures. Taking on the baggy silhouette, cargo pants come in an array of signature colors like navy, black, army green and khaki. Sweatpants receive a more vibrant variety, coming in bright orange and green, complementing similar color schemes for the GORE-TEX track pants and weatherproof overalls. Insulated and padded puffer pants are added to the mix alongside classic Supreme track pants and Frazetta printed pants and shorts. Supreme takes a page from the formal book, including pleated trousers for suiting purposes and semi-formal styling. As usual, Supreme has also put together a wide assortment of hats for FW24 with collaborative releases and New Era team-ups. Styles include camp caps, 5-panels, 6-panels, trucker hats, crushers, ushankas and bucket hats in a variety of material constructions. Just in time for the cooler weather, Supreme has unveiled a broad assortment of beanies for FW24. From typical knit pieces with the iconic Supreme branding, to soft-hued stripes to graphic-heavy, edgy beanies, as well as paisley patterned and solid colored ski-masks, there is a toque for everyone. Supreme has also put together a wide range of bags for FW24 arriving in many different styles and materials. Styles include the classic backpack, duffel bags and everyday bags like cross body satchels. This time around, Supreme also drops a new set of colors for its leather bag group, arriving in vibrant hues sure to standout in the colder months. Both in the functional and fun categories, Supreme’s accessories category has many stand out pieces including a Tru Grit Power Rack Weight Set, completely painted in Supreme’s signature red and featuring its branding. Continuing in the sports area, the accessories group features a custom 24” Brooklyn Machine Works Hardtail Park Bike in black and red. For audiophiles, Supreme drops a Sound Burger turntable and a Selmer alto sax, alongside other homeware like Supreme branded glassware, a Murano glass ashtray, a custom Pantone formula guide and a toolbox. Jewelry standouts include sterling silver and 14K gold zodiac pendant necklaces by Jacob & Co. and Swarovski encrusted box cutters. Kate Moss reappears on a Faribault Woolen Mill Throw Blanket while kitchenware like salt and pepper shakers, a dim sum steamer basket and plates receive the Supreme treatment. Nike collaborations resurface in the form of a new silhouette, seeing the classic Supreme box logo hit the Air Force 1 Mid in classic black and white. Other items include a b.b. simon belts, GORE-TEX dog jackets, and of course, skate decks. Yesterday, Supreme released a preview of its stellar Fall-Winter 2024 collection ahead of the line’s first drop this coming Thursday. Amid a flurry of speculation over Tyler, the Creator’s role with the brand and confusion over its new inedible chopped cheese sandwich, one bit of horological news mostly went unnoticed. On the latest Supreme photo tee, Tyler is sporting a Cartier Pebble—one of his myriad rare watches from the venerable Parisian house. Mr. Creator has become famed over the past few years for his assemblage of horological heat: No less than the wildly popular Crash, the Obus, and the Tank Louis have found their way onto his wrist. But it’s perhaps the Pebble that is most genuinely compelling. While most shaped Cartiers are at least somewhat based on a rectilinear profile—the Crash being a notable exception—the Pebble is, well, pebble-shaped. Its round, solid-gold case isn’t interrupted by conventional lugs; rather, they’re hidden on the caseback, which maintains the piece’s sleek profile. The dial, meanwhile, is classic Cartier: opaline background, chemin de fer (“railroad”) minute track, Roman numerals, blued steel sword hands. But rather than being displayed via a round crystal, the dial appears beneath a square shape with rounded edges that has been rotated 45 degrees. The overall effect is novel, yet distinctly Cartier—exactly the type of watch that a singer and producer as unique as Tyler, the Creator would want to champion. Much like the Crash and the Maxi Oval, the Pebble was a product of Cartier’s London branch. Released in 1972—supposedly in a run of just six pieces—its rarity has fueled its modern-day prices, which routinely hover in the multiple-six figures when one does come to market. In 2022, Cartier threw the collecting world for a loop when it introduced a limited run of 150 new Pebbles in yellow gold in time for the model’s 50th anniversary. Measuring 36mm in diameter like its vintage antecedent—fine, technically that watch measured 35.4mm—the new Pebble is powered by Cartier’s manually-wound Caliber 430MC with 38 hours of power reserve. Upon release, it listed for £40,000, which is roughly $52,111 today. It appears that this is the Pebble that Tyler added to his collection within the past few years—the first introduced since that legendary run of just six pieces back in 1972. While certain collectors of water-resistant tool watches such as Submariners will proudly wear them as “daily drivers,” unconcerned with the effects of water and sweat, vintage (and modern) Cartier is a distinctly different story. But Tyler isn’t the type to be precious with his precious watches; rather, he famously wears them on stage and, in the mode of Andy Warhol, rarely bothers to set the time. If this is your mode of collecting—a proud embrace of aesthetics and feeling—then boy, do we have just the T-shirt for you.
