The Rolling Stones’ merchandise arm is not resting on its laurels as they prepare for the highly anticipated release of the Hackney Diamonds album. Their associated lifestyle brand and store, RS No.9 Carnaby, has forged an exclusive partnership with New York’s KidSuper, the creative collection founded by artist and designer Colm Dillane.
The result is a limited-edition Rolling Stones x KidSuper collaboration that encompasses a range of premium merchandise items, including t-shirts, hooded sweats, headwear, and accessories. Additionally, there’s a CD and cassette produced by Bravado, Universal Music Group’s brand management company, featuring the band’s iconic tongue logo reimagined in two mediums by the multidisciplinary New York creative.
All of these exclusive items will be available starting from October 20th at the Carnaby Street, London store, and online. They will also be found in the soon-to-open RS No.9 Harajuku store in Tokyo, as well as RS No.9 pop-up stores in NYC and LA.
Colm Dillane expressed his excitement about the collaboration: «I’ve been a fan of The Rolling Stones since I was a kid, so when the opportunity came to support the release of their new studio album, I couldn’t turn it down. The logo, which I designed using fingerprint artwork, represents the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll and how many people have been touched by the band’s music over their incredible 60-year history. It was important to me that we fuse this spirit and celebration with the KidSuper energy and reflect this in the designs.
