The Neil Young Supreme campaign is the latest in the youth culture brand's ad campaigns employed through a guerrilla poster campaign and fronted by a celebrity ahead of the release of their spring collection.
The campaign features the 69-year-old Canadian singer in Supreme's iconic block logo tee and was shot by fashion photographer Terry Richardson. Other celebrities featured by Supreme in recent campaigns incude Lady Gaga, Kermit the Frog and Kate Moss.
The Neil Young Supreme campaign follows in the same vein as several other fashion brands who have employed aging art legends from the 1970s as the face of their brand this season. Canadian singer Joni Mitchell stars in a spring Saint Laurent ad, while the irreverent Joan Didion is the current face of the spring Celine campaign.
