Supreme's latest collaboration brings together the New York brand with Berlin/Paris design studio BLESS, founded by Desiree Heiss and Ines Kaag back in 1995. If you're not familiar with BLESS, they're known for their experimental approach to design - think fur wigs made from vintage coats that appeared in Margiela's FW97 show, DIY shoe kits, and cardboard-like t-shirt fabrics. Their whole philosophy centers around functional design that incorporates recycled materials and unconventional craft techniques, positioning themselves against what they call "mass individuality."
The Supreme/BLESS collection drops November 9th (November 11th in Japan and Seoul) and includes:
- Down Puffer Jacket
- Sweatpant Jean
- Crewneck
- T-Shirt
- Skateboard
- mophie® Charging Cable
In true BLESS fashion, there's an interesting twist - the studio plans to develop a new line of products using materials from this Supreme collaboration, to be released at a later date. It's a fitting partnership that aligns with BLESS's interactive, forward-thinking ethos while bringing their experimental design lens to Supreme's streetwear foundation.
