Supreme Honors The Work Of Photographer Roy Decarava With Capsule Collection

Supreme has announced plans to release a hoodie and two t-shirts featuring a Roy DeCarava photograph of Malcolm X and a demonstrator in the Civil Rights Movement in the South.

Perhaps reflecting the influence of new Supreme creative director Tremaine Emory, all profits from the capsule will benefit the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem.

Born in Harlem in 1919, DeCarava attended Cooper Union where he studied painting, architecture, and sculpture. He went on to train at the Harlem Art Center and the George Washington Carver Art School, where he began to experiment with printmaking.

DeCarava initially used photography as a way to inform his paintings, but soon fell in love with the medium and would become known for his black and white silver gelatin photography. DeCarva photographed Harlem and its people, documenting a period known as the Harlem Renaissance.

DeCarava’s photographs were first exhibited in New York in 1950, and two years later, he became the first Black photographer to win a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship. From 1955 to 1957, he established and ran The Photographer’s Gallery, the first gallery in the country to focus exclusively on American fine art photography. In 1975, DeCarava joined the faculty of Hunter College, where he taught undergraduate and master of fine art courses for decades.

Married for forty years to art historian Sherry Turner DeCarava, who he met at the Brooklyn Museum, the couple collaborated on exhibitions while DeCarava was alive and she continued to promote his work after his death at age 89 in 2009.

Priced at $158 for the hoodie and $44 for the t-shirt, Supreme and DeCarava’s capsule launches online at 11:00 AM EST local time on May 19, 2022 at Supreme stores and online store. A closer look at the capsule and the introduction by Supreme on Instagram.

Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah H Scathing 5,400-word report via The Cut's Tahirah Hairston on Kerby Jean-Raymond whose label Pyer Moss appears to no longer be operational. 

Check out an excerpt below. 

Ten years in, Jean-Raymond’s star has only risen. He hangs out with celebrities (Tracee Ellis Ross, Brent Faiyaz), made a cameo on Insecure, and drives flashy cars (a McLaren 720S, an Aston Martin Superleggera, a Porsche GT3 RS). Meanwhile, his brand is nearly nonexistent.

There is no Pyer Moss boutique. The clothing celebrated on the runway was mostly not available to anybody who didn’t have a celebrity stylist to pull it for them, and company insiders complained that quality control was so uneven that at times what was produced was too flawed to be sold. Jean-Raymond sometimes missed deadlines, didn’t always pay bills, started other projects, and alienated allies. He referred to Pyer Moss as an “art project” and seemed reluctant to make practical choices. Among the fashion insiders who had cheered his rise, there has been a growing feeling that he has wasted an opportunity to build something important.

The last straw for many of his early supporters was his couture show in July 2021. Titled “WAT U IZ,” and put on in the U.S. during Paris Couture Week, it was a tribute to the various innovations that Black people have been responsible for, often without credit. The models came down the runway decked out in a jar of peanut butter and a traffic light. A lot of it wasn’t really clothing, much less couture. Even if the professional critics and other members of the fashion press seemed hesitant to publicly express their disappointment, they whispered among each other that he’d lost the plot of his brand.
