Supreme's Angelo Basque Leaves the Brand

 The longtime director of the streetwear brand, Supreme has decided to leave the fashion house this month. Since late last year, Basque has been conjuring up his own plans for a creative agency, Basque Creative. Through his own agency he works with Nike and Converse, and will continue to work with Supreme. He has been with the brand for over 10 years since its conception in 2006. The only thing that changed about the brand was its visibility. “Our muses are the same and they have always been skaters. What’s different is that 10 years ago, you had to be in the know and now you can hang out below 14th Street and you know what Supreme is. But you are never going to be able to go into Macy’s, Zumiez or Bloomingdale’s and buy the brand.” Along with Basque's new creative agency, he will be expanding upon his own collection, Awake New York. Its a line of 6 paneled caps with was introduced in 2013.
