STREET CRED

Supreme/Lou Reed poster, corner of Broome & Greene, Soho, NYC

Street Cred
Monday, April April 13, 2009


The economic downturn is taking its toll on Soho. Empty storefronts are popping up left and right and fewer shoppers schlepping fancy boutique bags. On a recent stroll along Greene Street new tags reflect the swing with hero-bashing replacing hero-worship. The latest Supreme/Lou Reed poster campaign shot by Terry Richardson and plastered all over downtown is being tagged to death by various hands crucifying the legendary wordsmith with all sorts of nasty jabs. Kate Moss for TopShop is taking a beating too and Haculla appears to be having a field day de-facing Dan Smith, the original guitar-hero.
