I read you got into Supreme through Odd Future and Tyler the Creator. (This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.) We hopped on the phone with who has amassed 97,000 followers but chooses to remain anonymous because he wants the focus to be on the work, not clout, to discuss his new book, receiving cease and desist letters meant for Supreme, the ethics of “copying,” and his favorite discoveries this season.

1, which he self published in 2017, and he recently dropped the second volume. His account led to the publication of Supreme Copies Volume. He spends an hour or two a day scrolling through platforms like Strictly Supreme, Instagram, and Etsy to unearth brand references that range from out-of-print graffiti zines, defunct ‘90s streetwear brands, and contemporary artists-people also DM him Supreme design inspiration they come across at thrift stores or from their own clothing archives. He’s spent the last three years running the account from Bend, Oregon, an isolated town far removed from all things Supreme, showcasing the original graphics and vintage references behind some of the company’s most memorable releases. But in terms of time, he dedicates a lot of it to the New York-based streetwear brand.

He owns a couple of pieces, but he doesn’t love the newer stuff and has other financial priorities. The 20-year-old skater behind Instagram account doesn’t purchase or wear Supreme.
