Can we talk about what’s going on with Tremaine Emory? The design consultant, who was named creative director of Supreme in February 2022, suffered a lower aorta aneurysm last October—a very scary, life-threatening condition—and is still in recovery mode. Emory has been open about what he’s been through on at least one podcast, and yet the situation has been all but ignored in the traditional press, despite the fact that he’s leading the creative for what is arguably the most important American fashion brand to emerge over the past 30 years.
