Supreme Debuts Collaboration with Yohji Yamamoto
Supreme and Yohji Yamamoto are debuting their collaborative collection. The highly anticipated launch includes pieces from the classic streetwear brand, with flourishes from the Japanese designer. Garments include a leather jacket, graphic T-shirts, Intarsia-knitted sweaters, and baggy wool trousers.
Yamamoto’s signature designs are across every piece in the collection, with artwork and signatures scribbled on the back and front of jackets, sweaters, and T-shirts. The Japanese designer often turns away from traditional styling, with an androgynous flair and masterful draping of fabrics. The Supreme x Yohji Yamamoto collection is available for purchase online.

Christian Cowan Unveils Collab with Lil Nas X
Christian Cowan and Lil Nas X debuted their SS21 collection in a diverse film. The collaboration with the Old Town Road rapper shared punk-inspired pieces, with a fun and colorful twist. Cowan and Lil Nas X handpicked the models in the group for ‘pushing queer representation in mainstream media.’ Models included Violet Chachki, Amanda Lepore, Symone, Trey Trey, and many more. Supermodels and icons such as Heidi Klum, Susan Bartsch, and Helena Christensen also appear in the debut.
From the punk-inspired spiked hair to the vibrant colored glittered skin, the collection combined oversized sleeves, bright colors, and playful patterns. The proceeds of the show will go to the Lobvelabd Foundation, giving financial assistance to Black women seeking therapy.

Zac Posen Hosts Impromptu Show in NYC
Zac Posen set up a makeshift studio in the middle of Central Park’s Water Conservancy for an impromptu show. The designer brought along several mannequins and yards of fabric, where he began working his magic for the passers-by. The show aimed to present vibrancy and joy to the people of New York, as part of the NYFW festivities. The designer donned a face mask as he draped fabrics over each mannequin, designing couture with only a single piece of material.
