Journal Standard Pays Tribute to the Rolling Stones’ 60-Year Legacy
So hardcore were the Stones' exploits in their heyday, it's a wonder they're still around on the band's 60th anniversary, let alone be around to be 60.
Journal Standard is a Japanese fashion brand beloved for their carefully constructed, high quality staples. It’s not their first stroll on the pop culture landscape having collaborated on collections with a spectrum of popular brands from Vans to New Era, to cult icons like Björk and Larry Clark—director of the ’90s cult classic, “Kids.”
Come 6th August, they’ll be adding the Rolling Stones to their impressive list, paying homage to their six-decade long presence in music through a collection of shirts and accessories. A “fitting” tribute. As well known as the Stones were for their discography, they were just as much for their lifestyle. They were the face of rock and roll for the better part of the ’60s, epitomizing the expression—sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll.
The collection of vintage-styled apparel features plenty of classic Rolling Stones iconography. Of course, that includes their Hot Lips logo, one that’s transcended its association with the band, being as recognizable as Coca-Cola’s. There are also relaxed-fitting graphic tees of their album artworks: “Some Girls,” “Tattoo You,” “Black and Blue,” and “Voodoo Lounge.”
The tees will go for ¥6,930 (≈US$52), the shirts for ¥13,200 (≈US$99), the cap for ¥5,940 (≈US$45), and lastly, the socks for ¥1,980 (≈US$15). They’re available for pre-order now on the Journal Standard web store and will ship from 6th August.
Here’s another recent crossover between a fashion brand and a legendary rock band, the atmos PUMA SUEDE VTG “Petit Brabancon”.
