Last month, Supreme was acquired for $2.1 billion by VF Corp., owner of Vans, Timberland, and North Face. Now, Business Insider reports the most comprehensive collection known of archive Supreme box logo T-shirts is set to go on private sale at Christie's. The auction house says they expect the 253-shirt collection to be sold for somewhere in the region of $2 million, or about $7,900 per shirt. The seller is 21-year-old James Bogart, who started collecting Supreme products when he was only 14. The T-shirts were originally released in 1994. Bogart spent years building the only complete set of Supreme Box Logo T-shirts known to exist. The Supreme Box Logo Tee embodies more than 25 years of street culture, with skateboarding within its DNA and as a graphic device. It is almost unparalleled in being both ubiquitous and prevalent but never reaching the point of over-saturation. James Bogart, collection owner

"The idea is not to redo industrial agriculture in the city, it doesn't make sense. We try to extract the maximum number of lessons from everything that happens in the world of agriculture and food to propose a new productive, local and healthy model."2. "The technique that we have developed prevents from trapping urban pollution."3. "Our systems are totally closed and, which allows us to never be in contact with airborne particles."4. "We do not use pesticides or chemicals."5. "Prices are competitive. We are cheaper than biological but inevitably more expensive than conventional because we are in smaller areas than industrial agriculture is, we cannot mechanize and there is a lot of labour involved."6. "In two years, this area will become the largest urban farm on a roof in Europe. So far we have only installed a third."
