Well, there are parallels you can draw in terms of their reliance on image, but Supreme does actual ready-to-wear that's designed and also works the "exclusivity" angle with limited runs and special collaborations. I'm not a Supreme fan either, but I wouldn't say that these two companies are operating on the same model by any stretch.

actually, living in a low-tier fashion city has its advantages. viz. portland, denver, boulder, seattle

cheaper rent
no sales tax (in portland)
easy as fuck to stay /fit/ with all the mountains and rivers and bikes and shit
everyone thinks you look amazing for rolling out of bed and putting one measly ounce of thought into your fit
