“Behind The Box 1994-2020 sets a new standard for a sale solely dedicated to Supreme, the infamous New York lifestyle brand,” said Wilson. “Where previous sales have presented single lot pieces from the brand’s most recent output, this auction showcases the entire timeline of Supreme’s 26-year history by offering the most revered pieces from 1994 onwards. The iconic Supreme ‘Box Logo’ features across groups of vintage sweatshirts, collections of rare hoodies, and a full set of every promotional sticker dating back to the almost mythical early ’90s variations that ended up with the threat of legal action from Calvin Klein. Widely held as the kings of collaboration, this auction is the first to see groups of the most desirable collaborations from Supreme’s archives, with collections from the North Face, Nike SB and Comme des Garcons featuring alongside the groundbreaking partnership with French fashion house Louis Vuittion.”

Taking place alongside the online auction and offered for the first time in a private sale is The Box Logo Collection, the only known comprehensive archive of Supreme box logo T-shirts ever curated. Expected to realize in the region of $2 million, this is poised to be the most valuable collection of Supreme material to ever be offered in a single sale.
