Aeon Flux stans rejoice: the X-rated animation that took over MTV in the early 90s is getting its own Supreme collection. Landing later this week (on March 31 to be precise), the offering is made up of t-shirts, football jerseys, a hoodie, and a standout varsity jacket, all bearing illustrations from the groundbreaking cartoon.
If you’re not familiar, Aeon Flux depicted the conflict between post-apocalyptic warring cities Monica and Brenga, both of which had been ravaged by environmental disaster. Monica is a dystopia where chaos reigns, while Brenga is a strict police state. Aeon Flux herself is an assassin intent on destroying Brenga and its leader, Trevor Goodchild – who *plot twist* is also her sometime lover.
Renowned for its no holds barred depiction of sexuality, death, and fetish, the pioneering show has gone on to inspire everyone from Arca, to Ottlinger, to Bella Hadid, who was seen out and about in summer 2020 wearing a printed Aeon Flux baby tee. Chances are, even if you’re not a fan, you’ll have spotted some steamy, fucked-up clips from the cult show across Instagram at some point.
The collection follows hot on the heels of the NY skate label’s recent Nova check-heavy collab with Burberry, and news of Tremaine Emory’s appointment as its new creative director. If you want to get your hands on a piece, have your fingers at the ready on March 31 right here.
