New York’s CFDA award event took place last night in Brooklyn, where Supreme took home the 2018 menswear of the year award. The brand’s founder and CEO James Jebbia accepted the award and stated his appreciation for his team. He went on to described the brand as always more about design than fashion. “I’ve never considered Supreme to be a fashion company or myself a designer, but I appreciate the recognition for what we do. I want to thank my incredible team who work really hard, my wife, the kids and everyone who is supportive for so long,” said Jebbia.

The award reflect both Supreme’s success as a menswear label and also a changing of the guard mindset at CFDA, an organization that’s been criticized for nominating and awarding the same designers year after year.

Supreme was founded in 1994 by Jebbia with a single store it still occupies on Lafayette Street in lower Manhattan. Currently it operates 11 stores globally and there are rumors it’s opening a 12th in San Francisco.

The brand made big news when it was reported in October 2017 that The Carlisle Group had invested $150 million dollars in the brand.

Often an advocate of Supreme’s importance to the current generation, Off-White designer Virgil Abloh reacted with delight to the news on Instagram stories. In a NY Times article profiling the brand, Abloh said,  “Supreme is the pinnacle of my generation in terms of a brand. James [Jebbia] is a master visionary.”

Check out Abloh’s reaction below.

Part of his debut collection with the retailer, the men's "giant fit" chino priced at 89.50 is 100% sold out! Relecting the popularity of the silhouette, the women's wide-leg pleated cargo is also sold out.

What was your favorite storyline?
The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before  she sadly passed away in July this year.
