Boomer-Headed Streetwear Editorials

Supreme Taps into Boomer Model Maye Musk for a Fashion Shoot

— May 8, 2018 — Fashion
The Boomer model that stars in this creative and fierce Supreme editorial is none other than Maye Musk — Elon Musk's mother. Introduced to the world of contemporary streetwear, this woman defies the imagined boundaries of age-appropriate clothing and boldly presents the Supreme x Louis Vuitton pieces in an arty photoshoot.

In an interview with HYPEBAE, the Boomer model opens up about what beauty means to her— "a lovely smile, being considerate, well-mannered and stylish." Staying true to this belief, Maye Musk handles herself with poise, genuine warmth and grace during the Supreme x Louis Vuitton photoshoot. The Boomer model exudes confidence and an unapologetic attitude, which actively goes against the presupposed role of 70-year-old women within the narrative societal context of today.
