These Supreme-related scams are getting incredibly elaborate.

As pointed out by various news outlets, a China-based clothing company reportedly hired an actor to pose as Supreme’s “president” during a phony fashion event. The man is said to have traveled to Guangzhou, a city northwest of Hong Kong, to sign off on a so-called partnership between OXN and the iconic streetwear brand; however, Highsnobiety reports the collaboration was bogus, and that the actor was allegedly hired by OXN in an attempt to make its products seem more legitimate.

Several clips of the OXN x Supreme signing event have surfaced on the internet; one of which shows the actor just moments after he inked the deal in front of an audience.
