In-depth analysis of the way that Supreme references art, music and fashion from our past when creating seasonal collections. Written for The Basement.
"So with the new Supreme collection came Bruegel’s The Fall of the Rebel Angels (1562), the imagery printed on the coaches jacket. There are two levels of layering here: the Book of Revelation – the good angels, the bad angels, the demons, and the Archangel – and the Renaissance period. This might be my completely incorrect interpretation of the collection but there seems to be a very obvious link between Bruegel’s period of new thinking in the arts and sciences, and our period of ‘Anti-Everything’. Really opposing concepts in such a cohesive form seems like an unlikely coincidence."
