Supreme – Angelo Baque

We often like to introduce you to the people making our favorite produce. Angelo is one of the people making Supreme one of our favorite brands. Photography, art direction and marketing are his specialties, but ‘whatever it takes’ feels like a better job title.
As popular as Supreme is in our world, there aren’t many names that you can tie directly to the brand, without personally knowing them. The tightly knit family works hard to keep things cohesive and at the highest quality possible, from the collection, to the last look book to the marketing and collaborations. We wanted to dig a little deeper to find out more about the process behind the scenes of one our times most special brands.

Angelo Baque is one of those guys you’ve probably seen around different blogs, maybe in London or Paris, but most likely New York. He lives and breathes New York, and so does Supreme – so it only makes sense he’s one of the guys keeping the brand on point season after season. Photography, art direction and marketing are Angelo’s specialties, but ‘whatever it takes’ feels like a better job title.

You’ve grown up in different boroughs around New York, but always in New York. Does that make you feel like more of an insider or outsider in today’s global ‘scene’?

Without a doubt it makes me feel like an insider. Not to come across as a jaded or asshole New Yorker but everything starts here and trickles down to the rest of the world. All eyes are on NY when it comes to fashion, art and music. Being born and raised in NY always gives me a sense that I have an extra step.
