Evidence

These collaborations picked up steam when Louis Vuitton, under designer Kim Jones, teamed up with Supreme on a collection. Rich kids from Dubai to Shanghai wrapped their Ferraris in the hybrid logo.

The omnivore monoculture, with its fusion of elite and popular taste, had fully infiltrated the luxury sector. — W. David Marx, Blank Space, 762
