Big news: Dior has teamed up with Stone Island for a collaborative capsule collection.

A meeting of craft and innovation, this unexpected collaboration sees the work of Stone Island’s late founder, Massimo Osti, and Dior men’s artistic director Kim Jones interact across a dialogue of “romance, rigour and history” guided by Parisian haute couture, and Northern Italian mastery of machine processes and functional detailing.

The ‘Alchemy of colour’ underpins the capsule, inspired by Stone Island’s renowned garment dyeing, which is spotlighted across relaxed menswear staples designed with utilitarian details and signature Kim Jones romantic flourishes. Dior’s famous Cannage motif sits alongside Stone Island’s iconic compass rose, as bomber jackets, shorts, cotton-silk jackets, military-style, water-repellent outerwear and cargo vests are elevated and embellished. Jeans are hand-distressed and a black raincoat is decorated with bows, rhinestones and bead pendants inspired by a Dior ballgown from 1955. Throughout, accessories rule: super cool Stone Island compass rose leather shoulder bags, roll-up blankets and keyrings.

And here’s the info you all want – Stone Island’s famous compass badge is present across the collection, lowered on the forearm, stitched with Cannage and paired with Dior’s embroidered signature.

The collection will be sold exclusively in Dior boutiques worldwide from 4th July. Selfridges will host a pre-launch on June 18th.
