Are you ready for a streetwear battle? Two big names in fashion — Comme des Garcons and Supreme — have taken the world by storm. But which one rules the streetwear scene?
Let’s dive into this showdown and compare these two fashion giants. We’ll learn about their history, style, popularity, and more. Get ready, because this is going to be fun, simple, and super cool!
What is Streetwear?
First, let’s quickly understand what streetwear is.
Streetwear is a mix of fashion and comfort. It started with skaters, hip-hop fans, and people who love urban style. Streetwear often includes:
Cool hoodies
Graphic t-shirts
Sneakers
Hats
Jackets
It’s all about expressing yourself and looking stylish without wearing fancy clothes.
Now that we know what streetwear is, let’s meet our two stars.
Meet Comme des Garcons
Comme des Garcons (say it like “kom-day-gar-sohn”) is a fashion brand from Japan. It was started in 1969 by a super creative designer named Rei Kawakubo.
CDG (short for Comme des Garcons) is known for weird, wild, and wonderful designs. Some outfits look like they came from the future or an art museum! CDG doesn’t follow the usual fashion rules. They love to break them!
You’ve probably seen their Play line — that’s the one with the red heart and eyes logo. It’s popular with people who want something cool but simple.
Meet Supreme
Now let’s meet Supreme — the king of streetwear.
Supreme started in New York City in 1994. It began as a skateboarding shop but quickly grew into a huge fashion brand. People love its bold red logo, limited drops, and super rare collabs (short for collaborations).
Supreme sells:
Graphic tees
Hoodies
Hats
Skateboards
Even bricks and crowbars! (Yes, really.)
Supreme is all about cool culture, rare items, and hype.
