New Supreme x Damien Hirst collection earns place among greatest fashion collaborations of all time


  • English
  • Arabic

Bringing together two entities famous in their own right, fashion tie-ups are a tool for introducing brands to new audiences. Think Louis Vuitton and the artist Takashi Murakami, H&M and Karl Lagerfeld, or Dior and Air Jordan, which all broke old boundaries with new ideas.

But what if both parties are not only famous, but famous for creating hype and stirring up a frenzy? This is the case with the new collaboration between the US skate streetwear brand Supreme and the British artist Damien Hirst, which has quickly earned its place among the greatest collaborations of all time.

As part of its new spring summer 2025 collection, Supreme has unveiled a hooded jacket decorated with arguably Hirst's most famous artwork, a tiger shark preserved in formaldehyde.

Overprinted across the front, back, the sleeves and even the hood of the white jacket, the artwork called The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living has been re-birthed for a new generation who may not have even been born when it was first released in 1992.

First shown at the Saatchi Gallery's Young British Artists show, it caused uproar and made Hirst a household name. He followed this two years later with another preserved animal, a sheep sliced in half called Away From The Flock.

Hirst is skilled at creating noise around his work, perhaps best seen in 2022 when, to boost sale of his NFTs, he burnt roughly £10 million (Dh46 million) worth of his own paintings

Likewise, Supreme is adept at getting its audience where it wants them. Having invented the concept of the drop, releasing new products online at seemingly random times to keep clients hyper-vigilant to its every move, it has worked with an impressive roster of artists, including Roy Lichtenstein (2006), the Chapman Brothers (2012), Cindy Sherman (2017), Keith Herring (1998) and Jean-Michel Basquiat (2013).

This is not the first time Hirst and Supreme have worked together. In 2009 a trio of skateboard decks went on sale, decorated with Hirst's multicoloured spin paintings and are now sought after by Supreme collectors and art galleries alike.

It is not just artworks that spur Supreme on. It has also announced a collaboration with Knoll to rework the Barcelona Chair, the 1929 masterpiece by the Bauhaus architect Mies van der Rohe. Originally made in black leather, the new version is made in faded denim.

Other famous fashion collaborations

New collaborations are announced frequently these days. Many slip past unnoticed, but a few have stood out over the years. As Supreme x Damien Hirst joins the list, here are some of the other most skilful and imaginative get-togethers over the years.

Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dali, 1937

Showing how ahead of her time she was, designer Elsa Schiaparelli called on her friend, Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali, to create the Lobster Dress in 1937.

In what must be the earliest known collaboration between fashion and art, the dress was made of pale cream silk organza and had a vast lobster hand-painted across the skirt. A one-off gown, it was worn by Wallis Simpson (the woman for whom King Edward VIII abdicated the British throne) and Schiaparelli later donated it to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Louis Vuitton and Stephen Sprouse, 2001

Louis Vuitton’s ex-creative director Marc Jacobs can be credited with sparking high-end fashion collaborations.

In 2001 – long before such ventures became the norm – he invited American artist Stephen Sprouse to update the Vuitton logo, resulting in a series of bags covered in scrawling Sprouse calligraphy. With lettering that felt urgent, as if written quickly, it merged art, fashion and street graffiti, often in bold black and white or vibrant, neon tones.

Snapped up by a new, younger customer, it marked a turning point when fashion began to look for collaborations outside of its universe. During his time at Vuitton, Jacobs commissioned many other collaborations, including with American artist Richard Prince, Japanese artist Takashi Murakami and Jeff Koons.

H&M and Karl Lagerfeld, 2004

The original high-low combination, high street brand H & gned Karl Lagerfeld to create a one-off collection in 2004.

Eager to get their hands on an affordable piece by the creative director of Fendi, Chanel and his namesake label, hundreds camped out on pavements outside H & beat the queues that would later encompass entire city blocks.

With thousands looking to nab the sharp, black-and-white pieces that riffed on Lagerfeld’s famous high collars, it sold out almost instantly.

Kate Moss and TopShop, 2007

In 2007, Moss was the queen of all models and TopShop was the high-street shop for fashion-forward looks, making this collaboration destined for greatness before it launched.

Known for her style, Moss created a capsule for the high street that leaned heavily on her own, much sought-after wardrobe. On launch day, she appeared in the store window on Oxford Street wearing one of the dresses she designed.

It is now regarded as cult classic. Every subsequent collection sold out almost as fast and, when TopShop went bust in 2020, it made this one for the archives.

Alexander McQueen and Damien Hirst, 2013

Two years after taking over at Alexander McQueen, then-creative director Sarah Burton turned to British artist Damien Hirst to mark the 10th anniversary of the McQueen skull scarf.

In return, Hirst created 30 limited-edition designs, inspired by McQueen imagery and the artist’s own Entomology art series, using bugs, beetles, spiders and butterflies to fashion his ideas. Tapping into a shared fascination for the macabre, it was a mix made in heaven.

Crocs and Christopher Kane, 2016

There were eyebrows raised when Scottish designer Christopher Kane sent Crocs down the runway of his spring-summer 2017 show.

In swirled shades of blues or khaki and studded with rocks, Kane was the first big name to join with the world's most divisive shoe.

While critics lined up to heap abuse on the collaboration, Kane opened the doors to what has become an continuing series of tie-ups for the plastic shoe company, with the likes of Simone Rocha and Justin Bieber all lending their names to new decorations.

In 2017, Balenciaga created bubblegum pink, platform versions, that despite the $800 price tag, sold out before they hit the shops.

Dolce & Gabbana and Smeg, 2016

In one of fashion's most unexpected duets, Italian designers Dolce & Gabbana worked with the kitchenware company Smeg to hand-paint 100 fridges with the bright, bold Sicilian patterning normally seen across its clothes and accessories.

The initial launch has since been followed by kettles, toasters and coffee makers all decorated in the same joyful manner for those craving a slice of Italiana in their homes.

Louis Vuitton and Supreme, 2017

In a case of art imitating life, the Supreme and Louis Vuitton collaboration in 2017 followed a fractious history between the two brands. In 2000, Vuitton sued Supreme for copyright infringement, inadvertently propelling the disputed clothes to the top of the “most coveted” wish list.

Fast forward to Kim Jones heading Louis Vuitton menswear, and with his intuitive grasp of a high-low mix, he invited Supreme to join him on a collection shown on the Louis Vuitton autumn-winter 2017 runway.

Made available for one day only, the clothes, bags and even skateboards sold out in minutes.

Dior and Air Jordan 1 High, 2020

The first pairing between the Jordan brand and the French fashion house Dior created a viral moment when five million people signed up for a ballot to buy 8,500 pairs of the shoe.

Individually numbered, each pair of the white and grey trainers had the distinctive Dior monogram on the Swoosh, a Wingman logo reworded to read “Air Dior” and a translucent blue sole and were priced at $2,000 (Dh7,3450).

Four years on, Dior x Air Jordon 1 High can be found on resale sites for more than Dh100,000.

Gucci and adidas, 2022

Following two successful collaborations between Gucci and North Face, and with Kering stable mate Balenciaga, then-Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele next chose to team up with sportswear brand adidas on a collection that perfectly merged the worlds of sports and fashion.

With the sporting three stripes appearing in all manner of unexpected ways across clothes, bags, accessories and shoes (think clogs and HorseBit loafers) it was light-hearted and bursting with energy, and embodied Michele's ideology that fashion should be fun.

Spanish leather house of Loewe and Japanese animation studio Studio Ghibli came together to splash the beloved characters across bags, clothes and accessories.

The animated films My Neighbour Totoro, Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle served as inspiration for the three capsule collections, with the first release so oversubscribed it crashed the Loewe website.

Fendi and Versace, 2022

Milan Fashion Week in September 2021 had a remarkable fashion fusion when rivals Fendi and Versace swapped creative directors. Kim Jones of Fendi took over Versace, while Donatella Versace was handed the reins at Fendi.

The result? Versace's Medusa and rococo swirls mixed with Fendi's famous Double F logo.

Why your domicile status is important

Your UK residence status is assessed using the statutory residence test. While your residence status – ie where you live - is assessed every year, your domicile status is assessed over your lifetime.

Your domicile of origin generally comes from your parents and if your parents were not married, then it is decided by your father. Your domicile is generally the country your father considered his permanent home when you were born. 

UK residents who have their permanent home ("domicile") outside the UK may not have to pay UK tax on foreign income. For example, they do not pay tax on foreign income or gains if they are less than £2,000 in the tax year and do not transfer that gain to a UK bank account.

A UK-domiciled person, however, is liable for UK tax on their worldwide income and gains when they are resident in the UK.

Mercer, the investment consulting arm of US services company Marsh & McLennan, expects its wealth division to at least double its assets under management (AUM) in the Middle East as wealth in the region continues to grow despite economic headwinds, a company official said.

Mercer Wealth, which globally has $160 billion in AUM, plans to boost its AUM in the region to $2-$3bn in the next 2-3 years from the present $1bn, said Yasir AbuShaban, a Dubai-based principal with Mercer Wealth.

Within the next two to three years, we are looking at reaching $2 to $3 billion as a conservative estimate and we do see an opportunity to do so,” said Mr AbuShaban.

Mercer does not directly make investments, but allocates clients’ money they have discretion to, to professional asset managers. They also provide advice to clients.

“We have buying power. We can negotiate on their (client’s) behalf with asset managers to provide them lower fees than they otherwise would have to get on their own,” he added.

Mercer Wealth’s clients include sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and insurance companies among others.

From its office in Dubai, Mercer also looks after Africa, India and Turkey, where they also see opportunity for growth.

Wealth creation in Middle East and Africa (MEA) grew 8.5 per cent to $8.1 trillion last year from $7.5tn in 2015, higher than last year’s global average of 6 per cent and the second-highest growth in a region after Asia-Pacific which grew 9.9 per cent, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In the region, where wealth grew just 1.9 per cent in 2015 compared with 2014, a pickup in oil prices has helped in wealth generation.

BCG is forecasting MEA wealth will rise to $12tn by 2021, growing at an annual average of 8 per cent.

Drivers of wealth generation in the region will be split evenly between new wealth creation and growth of performance of existing assets, according to BCG.

Another general trend in the region is clients’ looking for a comprehensive approach to investing, according to Mr AbuShaban.

“Institutional investors or some of the families are seeing a slowdown in the available capital they have to invest and in that sense they are looking at optimizing the way they manage their portfolios and making sure they are not investing haphazardly and different parts of their investment are working together,” said Mr AbuShaban.

Some clients also have a higher appetite for risk, given the low interest-rate environment that does not provide enough yield for some institutional investors. These clients are keen to invest in illiquid assets, such as private equity and infrastructure.

“What we have seen is a desire for higher returns in what has been a low-return environment specifically in various fixed income or bonds,” he said.

“In this environment, we have seen a de facto increase in the risk that clients are taking in things like illiquid investments, private equity investments, infrastructure and private debt, those kind of investments were higher illiquidity results in incrementally higher returns.”

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, one of the largest sovereign wealth funds, said in its 2016 report that has gradually increased its exposure in direct private equity and private credit transactions, mainly in Asian markets and especially in China and India. The authority’s private equity department focused on structured equities owing to “their defensive characteristics.”

Studying addiction

This month, Dubai Medical College launched the Middle East’s first master's programme in addiction science.

Together with the Erada Centre for Treatment and Rehabilitation, the college offers a two-year master’s course as well as a one-year diploma in the same subject.

The move was announced earlier this year and is part of a new drive to combat drug abuse and increase the region’s capacity for treating drug addiction.

Chef Nobu's advice for eating sushi

“One mistake people always make is adding extra wasabi. There is no need for this, because it should already be there between the rice and the fish.
“When eating nigiri, you must dip the fish – not the rice – in soy sauce, otherwise the rice will collapse. Also, don’t use too much soy sauce or it will make you thirsty. For sushi rolls, dip a little of the rice-covered roll lightly in soy sauce and eat in one bite.
“Chopsticks are acceptable, but really, I recommend using your fingers for sushi. Do use chopsticks for sashimi, though.
“The ginger should be eaten separately as a palette cleanser and used to clear the mouth when switching between different pieces of fish.”

What is an FTO Designation?

FTO designations impose immigration restrictions on members of the organisation simply by virtue of their membership and triggers a criminal prohibition on knowingly providing material support or resources to the designated organisation as well as asset freezes. 

It is a crime for a person in the United States or subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to knowingly provide “material support or resources” to or receive military-type training from or on behalf of a designated FTO.

Representatives and members of a designated FTO, if they are aliens, are inadmissible to and, in certain circumstances removable from, the United States.

Except as authorised by the Secretary of the Treasury, any US financial institution that becomes aware that it has possession of or control over funds in which an FTO or its agent has an interest must retain possession of or control over the funds and report the funds to the Treasury Department.

Juvenile arthritis

Along with doctors, families and teachers can help pick up cases of arthritis in children.
Most types of childhood arthritis are known as juvenile idiopathic arthritis. JIA causes pain and inflammation in one or more joints for at least six weeks.
Dr Betina Rogalski said "The younger the child the more difficult it into pick up the symptoms. If the child is small, it may just be a bit grumpy or pull its leg a way or not feel like walking,” she said.
According to The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases in US, the most common symptoms of juvenile arthritis are joint swelling, pain, and stiffness that doesn’t go away. Usually it affects the knees, hands, and feet, and it’s worse in the morning or after a nap.
Limping in the morning because of a stiff knee, excessive clumsiness, having a high fever and skin rash are other symptoms. Children may also have swelling in lymph nodes in the neck and other parts of the body.
Arthritis in children can cause eye inflammation and growth problems and can cause bones and joints to grow unevenly.

Evacuations to France hit by controversy
  • Over 500 Gazans have been evacuated to France since November 2023
  • Evacuations were paused after a student already in France posted anti-Semitic content and was subsequently expelled to Qatar
  • The Foreign Ministry launched a review to determine how authorities failed to detect the posts before her entry
  • Artists and researchers fall under a programme called Pause that began in 2017
  • It has benefited more than 700 people from 44 countries, including Syria, Turkey, Iran, and Sudan
  • Since the start of the Gaza war, it has also included 45 Gazan beneficiaries
  • Unlike students, they are allowed to bring their families to France
