Tremaine Emory on Denim Tears, Why He Quit Supreme, and Illustrious Career in Fashion 

Everyone loves to put down dark skin people so weird

​@@numbaonestunna4806It's adoration that spawns into hate i.e. when obsessed fans kill celebrities they're a fan of. Read 'from Babylon to Timbuktu'. Dark(est) skinned people civilized Europe twice!...

Stop assuming we are too dumb to think independently

This is the best comment I’ve seen on any form of social media. Most people don’t have their own opinions on things, they all just congregate in the comment section so thank you for pointing this out ❗️🙏🏾

@@took_ya_handlehit dogs will holler. If it don’t apply to you should have bypassed. You’re one of the ppl he’s talking to 🫵🏾😂😂

What do you do there if you don’t mind me asking?

I left and started my own business years ago but I started the brand with Teddy and did everything from marketing to strategy to lookbooks, etc.@@Champ1120

@skippfop how long did it take you to start up.

Like regular parents do? The hell

@@lasoul680 like good parents. That's not regular parents. Go look up absent parent statistics

lol

I'm sure the artist knows better than you. It's his art that's at risk of becoming worthless.

lolool

Damn i cant unsee it now lmaoo

Ayooooooo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

yep you’re right. In fact, a lot of blck people are trippin for centuries because how PRIVILEGE WHITE PEOPLE ARE.

Not until we start to teach tailoring in the individual household and manufacture our clothes at that level, will we create a network of creatives and local manufacturing that can really cloth our people. And, we must stop the pernicious violence that stamps out trust, entrepreneurship and sustained community building. Fast fashion results results in the dumping of tons of discarded clothes in African countries. Look in your closets and repurpose what we have before buying fashion. We must create innovation within our own minds and make them ourselves. Think before you discard and donate your fabric (clothes).

That's my question why'd he wanna do it at supreme for?

"slave masters being hung & whipped by slaves..." 🛑 giving away your ideas PLEASE! Perhaps you could collaborate with Denim Tears if that interests you.

@@JamesSmith-rq7mv shit IDC if it's giving away ideas I won't be here forever and also I can't take none of that money when I die so it's whatever but I know for a fact people who feel like they are stealing ideas or biting know they ideas is bland so that's enough for me. And I know some ideas I've shot to people but they don't execute it like I would have it always be not as good as I invision if they try to cut me out the loop but knowing they using my idea

@@burningspliffs right on. No harm intended.

he was stussy informant lol. homie went in there to destroy supreme from within. 5head move.

@@allhuman718 Haha! He did kick out two of the worst Supreme collections in recent times, although it's not all his fault.

If you listen to the interview, he was basically a proxy creative director with James Jebbia still running it from behind. I doubt he could make changes in staffing just as the creative director.

Preach

👍

Many will pretend not to see this comment. Lots of gems here.

@@ShotsMerkzAll Exactly, no hate just facts.

Agreed!! This is big.

Damn I didn’t know that part lol and haven’t watched it yet but yea sometimes your life experience can make you a CRUSADER to your own detriment but I FULLY understand the mindset after some life live

@@KaTheMagician he has good points in the interview but at the same time supreme is a billion dollar company the last thing the investors need is an uproar. i for sure could have seen this be in mainstream media but also some people just want to wear cool clothes. his points on diversity in the work space are valid but also again shows the hypocrisy in his own circle like virgil having mainly white people in his team at off white. he just said kanye hired majority of white women so why don't you call out your peers as well.

Great point. I was wondering why he won't put it out through his brand. Really, what's stopping him?

It’s not because his parents name it’s because of their work ethic and teachings to him I wish I had both parents But I know I’m going to do the most I can and prepare my kids well And plus New York is one of the most popular places for fashion and being raised in it will help

Trueeeee

Many of our people have traumas they need to overcome. That's something I understand , The Most High will heal through prayer and changing of the mind

literally should have been a link to the artists t-shirts and hoodies san supreme -

It unfortunately starts with employment brother. BAME groups in G7 countries have been left behind since school days and that makes it extremely hard to have ownership without being an employee first. Yes, there are other significant factors but the lack of experience is attached to it greatly. We need those internships, we need those executive jobs, and we need those companies to start being more conscious about representation. We do not speak much about the representation of ownership because sadly it is not where we are at the moment. We are still trying to gather experience, and then we can talk about ownership.

I respect that- I think we agree on that point but I might have delivered wrong. I know employment is where it starts and representation is where we get in the door. That’s the external conversation. The internal conversation within our community should shift into converting employment into some form of ownership. I understand that we’re not 100 percent at the point of execution of that but I think we’re well into the stage of spreading that intention amongst our community as more of us are acquiring these types of positions- but quite frankly our priorities can be in the wrong places. The point that you bring up about experience is super valid. To that I say, tremaine got hired at supreme while he has ownership of denim tears . He doesn’t agree with supreme’s representation and cultural bias and he does a comparison between denim tear’s diversity and supremes diversity. My question is why would he be surprised? I’m sure most of us can assume supreme isn’t owned or representing for black ppl, they’re profiting off of us. If you take that position, you’re working change from behind enemy lines and you’re on a covert mission to convert the mind of supremes consumers. That’s the approach. I just think for this to all end in “supreme doesn’t and won’t hire more black ppl+minorities and they won’t let me create freely” is hardly insightful. We all knew this. And then for him to try to market our plight to their demographic was also confusing to me. I can’t imagine seeing a white 15 year old with a slave supreme shirt or skateboard.. I would feel the opposite of empowered. It would be in terrible taste. But that’s another convo. Either way, Would love your response on this , to gauge if I’m looking at this the right way

They want to use his talent with there guide lines .. so he can’t do what he does freely and it will never be from behind enemy lines because he doesn’t get to create freely. He is there so they can study and steal his intellectual property

He is a theoretical creative didn’t you know?

Ye is the biggest hater in streetwear. That Hitler lover has nothing of value to offer.

@@kickzoever heard of Yeezy

@@kickzo he's definitely a hitler lover. but he's given more to the culture than tremaine by an order of magnitude. it is what it is

@@miatomi ​ @nimanixo Right but, what did Yeezy do this year? Aside from selling back stock produced last year when Adidas dropped him. He made a white t-shirt and a bikini made out of black duct tape because he no longer has the support of the Adidas team, or Tremaine, or Salehe Bembury etc. etc. Indeed ye contributed to the culture but all his bridges are burned. I think it's pretty easy to say that he's under Tremaine today, who knows if his future collections will be a strong as they used to, without support of a real team.

@@kickzo I think it's fair to say that Tremaine could very well eclipse ye given time. We have to see what he does next, I'm excited personally

weak

facts and there are very few creative black men left like this.

Black people are always on each other nuts
