Which New York streetwear brand did Brendon Babenzien relaunch in 2015 after previously leading Supreme?

The story behind the answer

Brendon Babenzien relaunched Noah in 2015 after previously serving as Supreme’s creative director. The New York brand combines skateboarding and streetwear references with menswear construction and a stronger emphasis on sustainability.

Babenzien originally established Noah in New York before the label was later relaunched and developed into its modern form. Its collections have included graphic sweatshirts, tailoring, knitwear, footwear, and accessories. The brand’s visual language often mixes nautical references, collegiate clothing, punk influences, and classic sportswear.

A common confusion is treating Noah as simply a Supreme offshoot. The brands share Babenzien’s creative history, but Noah operates as its own label with a distinct design philosophy. Noah has also used its platform to discuss labor, environmental issues, and responsible production, subjects that are less central to the conventional hype-drop model.
