James Jebbia is an American entrepreneur and the founder of the influential streetwear brand, Supreme. Born on October 22, 1963, in New York City, Jebbia became a central figure in shaping the streetwear culture that emerged in the 1990s. His creation of Supreme in 1994 in Manhattan transformed the world of fashion, combining skateboarding culture with high-end design and exclusivity. The brand's iconic red and white logo and limited-edition releases helped it become a cultural phenomenon, influencing not only fashion but also art, music, and urban culture.

Jebbia's approach to fashion was groundbreaking, as he mixed high-end designs with countercultural aesthetics, which resonated with a young and rebellious audience. His collaborations with artists like Damien Hirst, designers like Louis Vuitton, and musicians such as Kanye West have cemented Supreme as a global brand with immense influence.

One of Jebbia’s notable quotes is, "Supreme is not a brand, it’s a movement."

Through his work, James Jebbia has played a key role in transforming the fashion industry and is considered a pioneer in the evolution of streetwear culture.
