An ode to the sundrenched coastal getaways of the 1980s, the RS No.9 Carnaby Spring Summer 2022 collection features punchy pastels, bold prints and relaxed, oversized silhouettes. Drawing inspiration from the Hampton Coliseum Live in 1981 album – a live recording taped in the beach town of Hampton, Virginia during the Stones’ 1981 American Tour – the garments effortlessly capture the vibe of long, lazy summer days by the sea.
2022 sees the 60 year anniversary for the Rolling Stones and this collection draws from their archive of iconography, graphics and key moments of the band’s history.
Blending trend-driven silhouettes with statement fabrics, the collection is made up of snappy co-ords, tees, sweats and key layering pieces that simultaneously function as seamless complete looks or as cover ups. With beachwear reprising its role as a key Spring Summer 2022 trend, the dreamy surfer colour palettes, terry cloth sets and the effortless shapes of RS No.9 Carnaby’s seasonal offerings are set to become bold, summer staples.
Standout items from the collection include a deep navy V neck sweater embroidered with the classic lyrics ‘It’s only rock and roll but I like it’ and a line drawing of the iconic stones tongue and lips logo, a statement black bomber jacket emblazoned with travel stamps, reminiscent of world tour memorabilia and a matching shirt and short set that poses as the ultimate collison of colour and pattern, offsetting shades of blue and yellow with a hand-drawn print graphics.
SS22 sees their iconic band tees get a summery upgrade, with graphics inspired by the neo-expressionist art movement, including painterly sketches, photo hits with a hint of subtle pop art, & text based graphics paying homage to the Art Deco revival of the decade, creating a collection of perfect summer wardrobe essentials.
The full collection will be available exclusively at the global flagship store at 9 Carnaby Street and for worldwide shipping at carnaby.therollingstonesshop.co.uk with clothing prices starting at £25 and sizes from S to XXL.
