Stüssy and Denim Tears have unveiled their latest joint collection, drawing from founder Tremaine Emory's teenage years in Jamaica, Queens. The 17-piece range transforms traditional school uniforms into contemporary streetwear, merging both brands' distinctive design elements.
The collection reinterprets prep school standards through a cultural lens. Blazers, oxford shirts, and chino pants incorporate co-branded elements alongside the Double S Wreath motif and Pan-African American flag details. A standout piece features Annie Lee's "Six No Uptown" painting, celebrating the game of Spades and its place in African American social life.
Key items include a brown collared shirt with "Jamaican High" text, khaki chinos featuring an all-over wreath pattern print, and accessories like messenger bags and belts. The collection's prices span from $55 to $650.
This release marks another chapter in the ongoing partnership between the two brands. Their previous collaboration in 2022 coincided with Denim Tears taking over Stüssy's former Spring Street location in New York City for its "African Diaspora Goods" flagship store.
The collection arrives online through both brands' websites on February 14 at 10 a.m. PST/1 p.m. EST, with select physical stores also carrying the line.
