In his role as brand director of Supreme, Angelo Baque does a bit of everything, from shepherding the label's high profile collaborations to fending off cops outside of the shop during rowdy releases. In the eight years since he joined the brand, he's helped make Supreme the undisputed champion of cool in what was once a fiercly competitive streetwear world. Since the New York City store opened in 1994 (there are now eight, spanning from Tokyo to London), Supreme's greatest skill has been its ability to always be present while never demanding attention. In the same way, when Angelo talks (in a New York accent that's maybe two notches below Scorsese), he doesn't overshare or brag. In fact, he is almost eerily calm, perhaps as an inverse response to the wildness Supreme inspires in its rabid fans each time it releases a new product.

As for his style, unlike the kids who wear Supreme's bright red logo as a statement of pride, Angelo's vibe is much more humble, equal parts Ralph Lauren prepster and old school streetwear. He can often be seen in a Supreme hat and colorful New Balance sneakers, but in between, Angelo's look is firmly engrained in classics like oord shirts, crewneck sweaters, hoodies, T-shirts, and a seemingly endless collection of straight-legged (never, ever skinny) trousers. It's a unique brew of old and new that's cool to those who care enough to pay attention to the details. In the same way Supreme seems to be great without even trying, Angelo's style is effortless. His ten essentials are too.
