Hi ~ It's time to meet every Monday again! Presumably, last week you were all swept away by this news, even if you are on the fringes of the trend, you know the joint event of Supreme x "Blood Twins"!
feel relieved! Today decided not to continue to fry cold rice, let's have some new ways to play ~
This tide brand, which was born in 1994, is actually not much older, but it sits firmly in the dragon's head (how to push it down)! Among them, the photo tee series is a hot topic of discussion every year, what are the "tricks" of photo tee? Let's talk about it. By the way, guess what's next Chinese element to be printed on Supreme tee? (You said guess whether it is possible to take 5 million ah)
Just print a photo
Is it called Supreme photo tee?
Many people have the same question as me, is the photo tee called photo? After consulting with the old Supreme players in the newsroom, Inin got an answer - not so!
In fact, the public definition of photo tee is subdivided into two types: one is the Classic Portrait Tee, a classic model, the most obvious feature is that it is led by Supreme royal photographers (such as Terry Richardson, Kenneth Cappello), and the subject is wearing a box logo tee.
Kenneth Cappello himself
The first photo tee was born in 2005 and shot by Kenneth Cappello, featuring Hip Hop group Wu-Tang Clan member MC Raekwon and his bodyguard
Another royal photographer, Terry Richardson, is now cold after being embroiled in a sexual harassment scandal

There is also a Photo Graphic Tee (simply put, there are fonts around the picture)

The 2011 protagonist is Prodigy, one of the members of Mobb Deep, known as "the best hardcore rap group on the East Coast."
And the tee like the blood double male is not a photo tee in the strict sense, but a cooperative tee "Supreme x Film collabs". Supreme's cooperation with films has also been there for many years:
2003 Supreme x Charlie Chaplin
In 2009, Supreme partnered with Disney to choose Mickey Mouse, and two years later chose Snow White (Snow White pictured).

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary, this collaboration was released in 2015
Supreme's Huaxia complex
Supreme's favor for Chinese culture is not sudden, and Yin Yin privately believes that this is inseparable from the vastness of the Chinese market.
Although everyone is praising Supreme as a legend, don't forget that its essence is still a commercial brand, isn't it? There is no reason not to please such a large market in China, but its way of currying favor is not so "hippie smiley", such as opening a store in China; it chooses to print Chinese elements, which I define as "high-cold flattery". What have they always been? Count together to see:
As early as 2006, Zheng Yijian appeared in the Supreme ×phase 2 Zip Hoodie, and I can't see where Honanko is! On the right chest!
Bruce Lee, who exists like a god in the minds of Westerners, was also honored by Supreme in 2013, and was inspired by "Dragon Fight Tiger Fight" to appear in that year's autumn/winter series:

And Supreme's design team must like to refer to court dramas, well, these "Yanxi Raiders" are the same:

Some people have to ask, "Since what is printed is Chinese, why not print traffic stars?" Whew! Supreme is Supreme because it has always insisted on doing things that match the tone of its own brand. From a business point of view, printing Chinese elements on tee can be equivalent to selling Chinese culture, and what can represent Chinese culture is definitely a classic and age-old thing, so how can it be possible to print traffic stars?
Play: Guess what it takes
What is the next Chinese element
After laying so much groundwork, you can finally enter today's theme! Since Supreme always unexpectedly releases "Chinese gadgets", let's take a bold guess, who will be the next Chinese element?
The first guess is "Star Master" Zhou Xingchi! The famous "Kung Fu" was highly criticized in China at that time, but it was unanimously praised abroad! There have been examples of cooperation between Supreme and comedy master Chaplin, so the cooperation with Star Master is not impossible.
The "foreign version of Douban" IMDB has a score of 7.8, and professors at New York University list it as one of the 50 must-see movies! According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Stephen Chow replayed the Hong Kong-style blockbusters of recent years and threw them to the audience with a master's style, and Kung Fu is definitely a postmodern version of Kill Bill, The Matrix and Spider-Man."
Kung Fu
Secondly, director Wong Kar-wai, the "Sunglasses Guy", is also a big figure who may be on Supreme, especially his classic "2046" is not in line with the current cyberpunk flow?!
He became the first Hong Kong director to win the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival for his 1997 film Spring Breaks. In 2006, he was President of the Jury of the 59th Cannes International Film Festival. In 2013, he was President of the Jury of the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival.
"Fancy Years"
"Spring Breaks"
The third guess is whether it will be the work of director Ang Lee. Among the top 30 Chinese classic movies rated by thecinemaholic, "Color Ring", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Diet Men and Women" are among them, and Ang Lee's international recognition is second to none.
Three Academy Awards, five British Academy Film Awards, four Golden Globes, two Venice Film Festival Golden Lion Awards and two Berlin Film Festival Golden Bear Awards. Ang Lee is the first Chinese director in film history to win best director at the Academy Awards, British Academy Film Awards and Golden Globe Awards.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Jackie Chan, a kung fu superstar who has achieved fame in Hollywood, is also a high-probability dengtee celebrity~
Drunken Fist
And the object that may be paid tribute, Zhang Guorong is of course also on the list, and his brother's "Farewell to the Overlord" has also become a milestone in his acting career!
In 1993, the film won the Palme d'Or, the highest award at the Cannes International Film Festival in France, becoming the first Chinese film to win this award; in addition, the film also won many international awards such as the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the International Film Critics League Award, and was the only Chinese film to win the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival and the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film; in 2005, "Farewell to the King" was selected as the "World's 100 Best Films" by Time Magazine.
Since the film cooperation has been speculated, then the accessories part should not be let go. The "soccer" Keju, which originated in the Warring States period, and the brush calligraphy that many foreigners are learning are both traditional cultures that are very likely to be valued by Supreme.
Although, we made so many predictions. But I don't think the above guess will come true, because Supreme will never let you guess! And will not follow your wishes hahaha!
