The luxury jewellery label and New York-based streetwear brand teased their upcoming partnership on Instagram, both posting a video focused on a man’s silver tag pearl necklace, with no text in the caption, only a chain link emoji.
The move comes as Tiffany & Co. is getting a new look at the hands of LVMH’s Alexandre Arnault. The jewellery brand took up a “not your mother’s Tiffany” tagline in June and produced a viral campaign with Beyoncé and Jay-Z, a rarely-seen “Tiffany blue” Basquiat painting from 1982 and the 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond in August. It won’t be the first time Supreme — which is known for its buzzy collaborations with the likes of Nike, Champion and Stone Island — teamed up with one of LVMH’s luxury labels. In 2017 it partnered with Louis Vuitton, and then Rimowa, helmed at the time by Arnault.
Disclosure: LVMH is part of a group of investors who, together, hold a minority interest in The Business of Fashion. All investors have signed shareholder’s documentation guaranteeing BoF’s complete editorial independence.
