Supreme x Stone Island 2019: Full spring/summer lookbook, release date and locations

Sharpen your elbows

Every time New York street wear brand Supreme announces a new collection or collaboration, you can be sure to expect fashion mania, and their new collaboration with Italian menswear brand Stone Island is likely to be no different.

For spring/summer 2019, the range is dominated by practical pieces produced in water and wind resistant fabrics and includes glossy jackets and trousers in Supreme pillar box red, black and aquamarine, cargo-style wind-resistant jackets and gilets in coral (the colour of 2019, of course) and camo-print orange hoodies.

Accessories include glossy snap-back caps, camo bucket hats and canvas duffel bags.

Founded by Massimo Osti in 1982, Stone Island was launched as a practical but stylish activewear brand that became cult in the 1990s as it was widely adopted among Britpop and football fans. The brand saw a revival in 2014 after Drake was seen sporting a red sweatshirt on his Instagram account, sending sales skyrocketing.

Supreme and Stone Island began collaborating in 2014, creating sell-out outerwear and accessories.

Designer collaborations have become a mainstay of the Supreme modus operandi, clashing everything from high fashion to tech and motorcycle brands with their street wear aesthetic.

The brand has collaborated with numerous high-end fashion houses over the decades, including a range of John Smedley jumpers (2005), three chambray shirts alongside Thom Browne (2010), Liberty of London floral accessories (2011), Aquascutum trench coats (2016) and even some Louis Vuitton monogrammed luggage reimagined in Supreme red (2017).

Supreme sportswear collaborations have included Fila (2007), Nike (2007) North Face (2007), and Timberland (2016).

See the full Supreme X Stone Island collection in the gallery below.

The Supreme X Stone Island Spring / Summer 2019 collection drops online on 14 March as well as in Supreme's New York, Brooklyn, Los Angeles and Paris stores.

With prices for the last collection sitting firmly in the hundreds, we can expect the same for spring / summer, although that hasn't deterred Supreme fans yet.
