Stone Island has done something it never did before. The brand partnered with a musician on a custom look, this time for Dave and his team during the “The Boy Who Played the Harp” 2026 tour.

The project fits what Stone Island calls “Community As a Form of Research.” They worked closely with Dave to build a modular wardrobe based on pieces from his personal archive. These are clothes built for the stage, designed to move and perform.

Key pieces include an iridescent double-layer metal mesh jumpsuit with a zipper system. There is an over-dyed nylon hooded tracksuit featuring a new version of the grid camouflage print, with reflective tape in red, bluette and grey. The hooded jacket comes in the same colours, with a matching attachable vest in black mesh. Transformable pants in nylon canvas complete the look. All of it uses a reflective plated camouflage pattern achieved through a print transfer technique over a glass microsphere coating. The interaction between fabric, print and reflective film creates depth that shifts depending on the light.

Dave’s team gets its own ensemble too: a Nylon Metal garment-dyed hooded tracksuit in black, plus a T-shirt with a serigraphic reflective camouflage print.

Stone Island is releasing a limited run of pieces inspired by the tour wardrobe for the public. These use the same glass microsphere reflective coating. The collection includes a version of Dave’s reflective hooded jacket and matching trousers in grey, the mesh multi-pocket reflective vest, and a reflective camo print T-shirt. Each piece carries a special hangtag reading “Specially Made For Dave, The Boy Who Played The Harp” and features the white Compass embroidery on the badge, the brand’s symbol for its most experimental work. The release launches March 5th with an installation at Dover Street Market London, then goes live March 6th on stoneisland.com and in select stores.

At Dover Street Market, an exhibition titled “Stone Island Selected Works: Archival Pieces From The Collection Of Dave ‘016-‘026” runs alongside the launch. Dave and Stone Island archivist Archie Maher co-curated the show. It presents Dave’s custom tour wardrobe next to a selection of archival Stone Island pieces from his personal collection, spanning 2016 to 2026. These are garments Dave wore at key moments in his career, tracking a relationship built over time. The pieces sit inside a freestanding Plexiglass structure that puts focus on material and construction. The installation will travel to the Stone Island flagship in SoHo ahead of Dave’s New York date on April 29th.

A documentary film by photographer Bolade Banjo will accompany the project, offering a look at the complexity of Dave’s touring experience.
