Nestled somewhere between nostalgia, cultural storytelling, and streetwear dexterity, the tag team collaboration between Stüssy and Denim Tears emerges. The 17-piece collection, inspired by Tremaine Emory’s high school years in Jamacia, Queens, divulges a reinterpretation of classic school uniforms through the lens of both brands.

The collection includes textures, heritage, and personal style, seamlessly balanced with elevated tailoring and relaxed everyday wear. Signature Stüssy Tears motifs, including the recognizable Double S Wreath, bring a recognizable identity to pieces like chinos, gym tanks, a messenger bag, and an Ivy Stripe shirt. The collaboration pulls from the collective experience of students infusing their individuality within their school uniforms, resulting in familiar and refreshing garments. 

The collection imitates what V imagines many of us aspired to have dressed like as high schoolers. With each garment, the two brands have mastered the numerous student archetypes, from those on the sports stage to those watching from the bleachers or roaming the empty hallways disinterested. 

Intentional fabric choices are key in this drop, with standouts like the Houndstooth wool duffle coat and deerskin Dad’s Gloves. Accessories such as the RBG Spade Ring, Space Needlepoint Belt, and Ivy Stripe Scarf also have their go on the playing field.  

With carefully thought-out designs, you can transport yourself back in time—only older, cooler, and much more stylish. This line of garments is much more than clothing; it reflects self-expression, youth culture, and the ever-evolving dialogue between heritage and streetwear. The collection is now available at select Stüssy Chapter stores, Dover Street Market locations, denimtears.com, and stussy.com.
