To celebrate 20 years of the iconic Dover Street Market (DSM), Stone Island has resurrected the legendary COMPACT jacket. A nod to DSM’s enduring influence on global fashion, this release revisits a classic design from the brand’s heyday, crafted to honor both its aviation-inspired roots and the ongoing relationship between the two fashion powerhouses.
Originally designed by Paul Harvey and first unveiled two decades ago, the COMPACT jacket maintains its signature blueprint, featuring a unique string-and-loop system. This feature allows the jacket’s body compression to adjust based on atmospheric pressure, or more practically, to suit the temperature of your surroundings—perhaps even your local pub.
Stone Island has modernized this iconic piece with cutting-edge techniques and innovative fabrics. Available in three distinct material executions, each version of the jacket boasts a unique patina, reflecting the brand’s commitment to creating exceptional textiles. The jacket’s unmistakable compass patch on the left sleeve signals its true Stone Island heritage.
Founded by Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons in 2004, Dover Street Market quickly became a landmark in London, renowned for its blend of high-end fashion and independent, cutting-edge labels. Over the years, DSM has solidified its place as a hub for fashion-forward design, fostering groundbreaking collaborations that feel more like cultural events.
Stone Island is no stranger to partnerships either, having worked with the likes of Nike, Supreme, and New Balance. This rerelease strengthens its bond with DSM, reflecting their shared values of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and bold design.
The Stone Island COMPACT jacket serves as a perfect example of the synergy between the two brands, energizing the menswear landscape. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, it’s a rare gem that unites past and future in a way only Stone Island and DSM can.
The COMPACT jacket is just one of many limited-edition releases set to commemorate DSM’s anniversary. Be sure to check the Dover Street Market E-shop starting November 29th for more exclusive drops.
