Supreme Veteran Joins SKIMS & OVO Sells Stakehypebeast.com

SKIMS has enlisted a Supreme veteran to head its design team, while Authentic Brands Group secured a majority stake in Drake’s OVO label. Simultaneously, Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran are officially stepping down from Uniqlo U.

WHY THIS MATTERSWhen private equity and major conglomerates buy up streetwear favorites like OVO or shuffle execs between Supreme and SKIMS, expect heavy marketing pushes for gear that keeps climbing in price. Your favorite aesthetic is just a corporate asset swap.
