Steeped in the rebellious spirit of punk, Blackmeans, founded in 2008 by Yujiro Komatsu, Tomoko Moriya, and the Ariga brothers, Takamoto and Masatomo, brings a fresh breeze of hardcore punk subculture to the fashion forefront. What sets them apart is their unique exploration of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, rooted in the 18th-century leatherworking culture known as “burakumin.” As the anticipation peaks, the Supreme x Blackmeans Fall 2023 collection is ready to redefine streetwear with a meticulous standard of construction and quality that both brands are renowned for.
This collection’s hero piece is a bold hand-painted Leather Motorcycle Jacket. Crafted with precision and adorned with unique artwork, this piece seamlessly blends the edgy punk vibes with an unmistakable touch of luxury. The hand-mended Sweater and Jean duo is a testament to Blackmeans’ commitment to detail. Every stitch tells a story, merging punk aesthetics with a sophisticated twist. It’s the perfect marriage of rebellion and refinement.
The Supreme x Blackmeans Fall 2023 collection is slated for a global release on December 7 at 11 a.m. EDT in the United States, followed by the release on December 9 at 11 a.m. JST in Japan and Seoul.
