Spring/Summer 2008
Logo font, Arc Logo hoodies, Tiger Camo, Photo print tees all remeniscent of Surpeme.
Fall/Winter 2008
New Era's, Football Jerseys, Logo Tees and Varsity Jackets once again very Supreme
Now to Spring/Summer 2009
The stlying, clothing and models all very "Supreme-esq"
Now I'm not saying Supreme is the originator of "streetwear" or that these styles and ideas are not widely used by lots of brands across the "streetwear" spectrum. It's just the fact of how obvious Lafayette are being about it. Its clear to all that Supreme uses other brands as inspiration, but at least Supreme look far and wide, and use brands and items that have truely inspired and affected their way of life. It seems like Lafayette have decided to do Supreme for themseleves and it just comes off as a cheap imitation, trying to copy a look that has been tried and tested for a number of years.
On a side note the SS09 Supreme stuff is pretty awful..
And I know this post is gonna' open up a whole can of worms on the Supreme issue, so I expect plenty of comment action!

The best part is that the name "Lafayette" comes from the street Supreme is on. That about says it all for me.
Supreme takes inspiration from ny culture and skate culture.
Your not copying supreme if you cast latino models and bagging pants.
This brand obvious just draws inspiration from the same pool.
Supreme wernt the first to do it, check old zoo york, very similar.
On another note, supreme s/s is strong.
Clothes WAAAAAAAAY too baggy, I'm good.
burned like an albino in olive oil
hahahahahahah cock money
Santos may be linked with Supreme but the ideas and creativity behind this brand are none existant, equalliing a sub-par cheap imition of Supreme. (In my opinion)
Man the clothing looks weak.
i like the substitution of hench for hence.
If you'd asked a 12 year old me to draw what he wanted to wear - would be the bottom two pics....
Danks got me creasing haha
i think anyone wearing jeans that baggy would get laughed at
I'm with witts on this one. Just cause your linked with another brand doesn't give you the right to be less creative.
If anything lafayette should be aiming to differentiate there style from supreme.
^what this guy just said wasnt relevant to anything here was it?
Wrong blog pal
your mums loves to cocked in her double chin.
this is not relevant but true, like the comment above you.
supreme fulfills me. i dont understand most of their references to new york culture but i dont mind because as a man i feel whole when i wear it, especially when i'm queing up to buy more at the hideout!
:D YAY!
Oh I see.
I mean if you know me so well and saw me begging, although for what escapes me. Why hide behind an alias?
Come out and face me like a man, spit your beef. I'll at least respect the fact that you're man enough to reveal yourself.
C'mon man, you're getting heated because I said the clothes where baggy?
It's not that serious mate
last guy reminds me of kish
Bottom line is the clothes don't look all that great. Bottom line is they are kind of copying a clothing label that was once at the top of the "Streetwear" game but has now slipped way down in the ranks.
Lafayette stuff isn't all that great.
Supreme stuff isn't all that great.
In the end though it all comes down to the fact you wear what you want to wear. Who really gives a flying fuck.
