Supreme launches a collection of politically charged t-shirts and the garments are each adorned with graphics of Stormy Daniels and 18 other women that have accused President Donald Trump of sexual misconduct. The range is aptly named '18 & Stormy' and is done in collaboration with Richard Prince.
This is not the first time Supreme has took a potent stand with its political views. Earlier this year, the brand released a collection of charitable tees and contributed the proceeds to families who were impacted by Trump's 'Zero-Tolerance' immigration policy.
Much like its precursor, the proceeds from this range of politically charged t-shirts will go toward a cause. Supreme and Richard Prince are donating everything to Downtown for Democracy — a group that seeks to "transform cultural influence into political power."
