Supreme is linking up with Harmony Korine this spring for a collaboration centered around Gummo, the cult classic film that marked Korine's directorial debut back in 1997. If you're not familiar, Gummo is one of those films that divides people - it's a raw, experimental look at small-town American life set in tornado-ravaged Xenia, Ohio. Shot using a mix of 35mm, VHS, and Hi-8 footage with mostly non-professional actors, the film's collage-like approach earned both controversy and serious respect from filmmakers like Werner Herzog and Gus Van Sant when it dropped.
The collection features imagery from the film along with original artwork by Korine himself. Here's what's dropping:
- Coaches Jacket
- Football Top
- Hooded Sweatshirt
- Two T-Shirts
- Two Skateboards
The Supreme/Gummo collection releases April 28th in the US and EU, with Japan following on April 30th. It's an interesting pull from Supreme - Korine has been adjacent to skate culture for decades (Mark Gonzales even appeared in the film), so this feels like a natural fit rather than a random reach.
