Rare photos show the inside one of Australia s first Supre warehouses, complete with neon tops and its signature fuchsia branding, at the height of its popularity in the late 1990s.
Supre first emerged in New South Wales in 1987 and almost became a rite of passage for teens and tweens looking to buy cheap and age-inappropriate clothing while listening to deafeningly-loud tunes throughout the next decade.
Due to the sensational popularity of neon boob tubes, T-shirts with sexually suggestive slogans, impractical jersey belts and $5 spaghetti strap singlets, the fast-fashion label opened warehouses which quickly became a hotspot for young girls.
The outlets were closed before the Cotton On Group bought the business in 2013, but earlier this year social media users in a local Facebook group shared fond memories one factory outlet in Marrickville, in Sydney s inner-west.
