As far as creative collaborations go, Supreme teaming up with Pat McGrath might be the most iconic to date.
McGrath, whose eponymous makeup range has a cult following of its own, has long-been a major cog in the hype machine herself. Having tapped superstar model Paloma Elsesser before she landed most major contracts, McGrath has always been known to have her finger on the pulse. And as for Supreme, it goes without saying that the mammoth streetwear brand has single-handedly reconfigured the fashion industry, creating an unparalleled level of hype behind every single product they drop whether it’s a Supreme-branded brick or a new Nike collaboration.
At the beginning of the week, the brand announced their first foray in to the gargantuan beauty industry, and naturally they chose to collaborate with the mother of all makeup: Pat McGrath herself.
