James Jebbia is a British-American entrepreneur and the founder of Supreme. After moving from England to New York, he worked in retail and helped operate Union before opening Supreme on Lafayette Street in April 1994. The store was designed around New York's skate community and developed into a global brand through controlled releases, a strong graphic language and sustained collaborations with artists, photographers, musicians and established fashion houses.
