Stüssy and Denim Tears are once again breaking boundaries with their latest collaboration, combining the iconic styles of both brands to create a unique collection that nods to the past while looking forward to the future. This collaboration draws inspiration from Denim Tears founder Tremaine Emory’s high school days in Jamaica, Queens, evoking memories of school uniforms, street style, and youthful expression. The result is a 17-piece apparel and accessory collection that is both nostalgic and contemporary, bringing a fresh take to classic staples.
The collection reimagines essential school uniform pieces like shirts, chinos, gym tanks, and messenger bags, infusing them with the distinctive Stüssy Tears motifs, including the recognizable Double S Wreath. These familiar icons are reworked to give a modern, elevated twist to traditional school attire. Each piece carries a sense of cultural significance, blending Emory’s personal history with Stüssy’s street-savvy aesthetic.

Fabric choice plays a significant role in the collection, with each piece carefully constructed to provide texture and richness. A standout example is the houndstooth wool duffle coat, a nod to traditional menswear with a modern twist, while the deerskin gloves exemplify the collection’s focus on premium materials. These elevated fabrications ensure the collection feels luxurious yet accessible, creating timeless pieces that maintain relevance for years to come.
The collaboration also takes inspiration from the moments of connection and camaraderie that were central to Emory’s high school experience, particularly moments when students would gather and play Spades. The collection’s design reflects this cultural touchstone, with each piece offering a unique statement that speaks to the individual stylistic interpretation of a school uniform.
The Stüssy & Denim Tears collection is an exploration of culture, identity, and the intersection of streetwear with more traditional elements. It’s a celebration of Emory’s roots and how his experience has shaped his approach to design. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted, with every detail contributing to the collection’s overall theme of self-expression and style through the lens of high school memories.
Available worldwide at select Stüssy chapter stores, Dover Street Market locations, and online, the collection will be available starting Friday, February 14th.
