Tyler, the Creator Links With Supreme

Supreme

Ahead of the release of its Fall/Winter 2024 collection, Supreme began fueling fan fever on Tuesday with a new set of wheatpastings starring Tyler, the Creator. Spotted around Brick Lane in London, the images saw the Call Me If You Get Lost artist posing in a green box logo T-shirt, hiding a signature colorful scarf around his neck and accessorized with a brown top-tied hat.

Shortly after fans spotted the wheatpastings, Supreme took to its Instagram to share the photos in high resolution, revealing that they were shot by photographer Luis Perez, who previously shot the campaign for Tyler’s Louis Vuitton collaboration.

It’s unclear whether Tyler is partnering with the streetwear stalwart to design parts of the forthcoming collection or if he’s merely the star of the brand’s FW24 campaign, but many would argue that a collaboration between Supreme and the rapper is long overdue.

PUMA Shares Fell to Six-Year Low After Group Narrowed 2024 Profit Forecast

Puma

German sportswear label PUMA saw its share price fall to a six-year low, after the company narrowed its profit forecast for the year due to “cautious consumer sentiment and higher freight costs” earlier this week, according to MarketWatch.

In its latest earnings report, the group projected that its full-year profit would tally between €620 million EUR and €670 million EUR, down from its original estimate of €700 million EUR. As a result, PUMA’s shares dropped by 13% to reach €36.20 EUR, a 30% decrease across the year.

In the second quarter, the company reported a 2.1% increase in currency-adjusted sales to reach €2.12 billion EUR. Profit, before interest and tax, was up by 1.6% at €117 million, though the figure still fell below analyst expectations, per Fashion United. On a regional basis, sales in the Americas climbed 9%, while revenues in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa were down by 4.3%.
