A capsule collection from is now available. It is exclusive to “Dover Street Market Ginza” and “Dover Street Market London.”
These items feature the brand’s proprietary “Reverse Color Process” applied to blue denim.
The “Reverse Color Process” series is a garment-finishing technique that involves applying a corrosion treatment to the fabric and then layering dyes on top; it first appeared in the Spring/Summer 1998 collection. While this technique was typically used on cotton satin and linen garments at the time, this piece applies it to blue denim.
This time, we’re featuring a lineup of three jacket styles and three five-pocket jeans styles, each with a unique finish.
In the first step, products made from blue denim are dyed with black corrosion dye, and then a polyurethane film is applied to the surface to create a rubberized finish that offers excellent windproof and water-resistant properties.
Typically, the “reverse color process” involves two or three stages, but this time, we’ve commercialized the product based on just the first step.
STAGE 1 | BULL DENIM REVERSE COLOR PROCESS CORROSIVE BLACK – GARMENT-DYED
Jacket ¥401,500 / Pants ¥157,300
As the product moves on to the second stage of the process, the denim’s natural color gradually emerges through the etching process. It is said that areas where the fabric is doubled—such as the collar, pocket flaps, cuffs, and hem—as well as the seams, are resistant to etching and retain much of their original color.
STAGE 2 | BULL DENIM REVERSE COLOR PROCESS | CORRODED
Jacket ¥401,500 / Pants ¥157,300
Items that have undergone the entire production process are overdyed in red using a double-dyeing formula developed specifically to match both the base color of the fabric and its surface color.
STAGE 3 | BULL DENIM REVERSE COLOR PROCESS – TC | RED OVERDYED
Jacket ¥401,500 / Pants ¥157,300
All of these items are now available. Be sure to check out the special labels in stores, featuring the 〈Stone Island〉 and “Dover Street” logos side by side.
