speaking out: Supreme’s recently named creative director Tremaine Emory spoke about the odds at the Paris convention Saturday evening, where she and artist and writer Candice Williams were the opening speakers at the three-day Kaleidoscope Manifesto event.
“At my appointment at Supreme, people were very happy about it,” said the Denim Tears designer, who has consulted over the years for brands and creatives including Stussy, Kanye West, Asics and Marc Jacobs. “I’ve been doing this for a long time; why am I more important to you now than ever before?” he questioned.
“I’m advocating, I’m making art, I’m negotiating…everything I’m doing, I’ve fought, it’s all you need to know what I’m doing Sarthak and Tremaine is a great creative? Wasn’t I great the day before Supreme became creative director?” They said.
“I have to do everything so that it’s a perfect storm for me to get this position. Whereas if you look at how Tom Ford became Gucci’s creative director in the ’90s, I don’t know if he had to … I’ve had to do extraordinary things.”
For an audience full of people sitting on every empty corner of the carpet in the basement conference space, Emory and Williams created Roe v. Also addressed the overturning of Wade. “I’m more surprised than surprised, it’s being reversed, it’s not a surprise to me,” Emory said. “It seems par for the course for a patriarchal system.”

“I’ve been thinking about these power vacancies within myself a lot, because I think the real fight and the real surprise is the issue of why we’re still so shocked or surprised,” Williams said.
“We’re still amazed at the horrors that happen to women, people of color, basically everyone but the white man who runs the world’s patriarchal system. Why, in 2022, we’re still shocked by these things.” ?” Emory continued. “Since the Industrial Revolution, women have been held responsible for lack of a better word. Why are people ‘I can’t believe this.’ It is every day, for hundreds of years, maybe thousands. ,
Open to the public through Tuesday and free to attend (for events, reservations are mandatory), the event at the Espace Niemeyer, the headquarters of the Communist Party of France, is organized by Kaleidoscope magazine and the resale forum Goat. It is designed like a real-life expression of the magazine founded by Alessio Ascari a decade ago.
It combines art installations, live performances and talks with influential figures on the contemporary creative scene. “It’s going to be this seamless community of creative heads in one place,” Askari explained at the opening. “The idea of Manifesto is to exactly make the magazine appear in real life.”
The evening continued with performances from Anonymous Club, Shayne Oliver’s most recent venture, a multidisciplinary creative studio that promotes new proposals in music, visual arts, performing arts, creative direction and events. Then the DJ set took place.
The lineup for Sunday and Monday evenings includes John Glacier, L’Ren and Pigbaby, who will take place in the dome-shaped conference room on the ground floor of the venue, complete with a special lighting installation for the occasion. On the conference schedule, there’s a talk by Shayne Oliver.
