Explore the collaboration–
Stone Island presents a limited release of garments inspired by the custom-made wardrobe created for the British musician Dave, for his “The Boy Who Played the Harp” 2026 tour. The project marks the first time in its history that Stone Island has collaborated with a musician on a custom tour look, as an extension of its philosophy of Community As a Form of Research. The limited release, which offers a series of pieces made with the same treatment process as Dave's custom looks, is available now.

01 THE COLLABORATION
A long-standing friend and collector of Stone Island, the Mercury Prize-winning artist Dave holds an extensive archive of the brand, which provided the starting point for the collaboration.
Utilizing a combination of Stone Island’s technical expertise and cultural knowledge, the brand worked closely with Dave to create a modular, stage performance-driven wardrobe for him and his crew.
02 LIMITED RELEASE
The release reinterprets the highly reflective coating used in Dave's tour wardrobe, achieved through a resin bath incorporating thousands of glass microspheres. The reflective surface is printed with a textured camouflage pattern using the ‘direct to film’ technique: a digital print on an adhesive film is heat-transferred onto the fabric, followed by the application of an additional reflective film. The selection will be available for sale at select Stone Island stores and at Dover Street Market in London on March 5. Each piece carries a dedicated “Specially Made For Dave, The Boy Who Played The Harp” hangtag and a special garment tag. Discover the release at the following Stone Island stores: Paris, London, Munich, Toronto, Los Angeles, New York.
03 IN FOCUS
–Included in the collection is a version of Dave’s reflective hooded jacket and matching trousers, a mesh multi-pocket reflective vest, and a reflective camo print garment dyed T-shirt.
04 EVENTS
Ahead of Dave’s shows in London and New York City, the release will be accompanied by in-store installations at Dover Street Market in London on March 5, 2026 and at the Stone Island flagship in SoHo, NYC on April 29th, 2026, allowing public access to Dave’s invaluable personal Stone Island archive.
The installation is co-curated by the Stone Island archivist Archie Maher.
This special project will be accompanied by a documentary film that will provide an intimate look at the complexity of Dave’s touring experience, shot by the photographer Bolade Banjo.
