S.S. Daley & Gluck.

Sublime meets sublime. S.S. Daley (@ssdaley) meets the iconic British artist Gluck for the 2225 Womenswear collection—their first full collection, which debuted with a show at the London Fashion Week.

It's a meeting of two aesthetic icons: tailored and utilitarian, femme and elegance. As with all of Daley’s work, it’s about queering traditions, charm, individuality, detail, and the pleasure of wearing clothes. The results are, well, sublime. 

You can find the S.S.DALEY SS25 Womenswear playlist right here. These are songs that reflect the mood of the show, the mood of the studio working towards the show, team favorites, and songs that feel somehow connected to the research narrative. Enjoy.

FLORENCE, Italy – As Steven Stokey-Daley’s fall show in Florence during Pitti Uomo wrapped, the British designer, the 2022 recipient of the LVMH Prize for Young Designers, revealed longtime fan Harry Styles is acquiring a minority stake in the company.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“Harry and I have a shared vision for the future of S.S. Daley and we look forward to this new chapter together as we focus on brand longevity and scaling the business into a modern British heritage house,” the designer, 26, said.

The pair was introduced by Styles’ stylist Harry Lambert, who masterminded the wardrobe for the artist’s “Golden” music video, outfitting him in Stokey-Daley’s graduate collection.

The investment is geared at building S.S. Daley’s direct-to-consumer business and forge ahead with plans for a “sustainable and long-term expansion,” the company said in a statement.

After graduating from the University of Westminster, Stokey-Daley made his London Fashion Week debut in September 2021 supported by the National Youth Theatre artistic director Paul Roseby, staging a four-part performance by members of the theater, riffing on British tailoring and tackling such topics as social class, inequality, school life, sexual awakening and homosexuality.

That same year, the S.S. Daley designer was among the recipients of the British Fashion Council’s Newgen initiative and was awarded again by the British fashion governing body the following year, with the BFC Foundation Awards.

The designer’s gender-fluid take on the uniforms of the British upper classes, such as wide-leg trousers, argyle-knit wool vests and embroidered shirts, appeals to a Gen-Z sensibility, and a growing female customer base. The brand is currently stocked in a handful of retailers, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Dover Street Market, Matchesfashion, Bergdorf Goodman, 10 Corso Como Seoul and I.T Store.

Attending the S.S. Daley show in Florence, Sir Paul Smith praised Stokey-Daley and said: “I think that the ideal thing [for him] would be to try and work in parallel with a commercial company that help him develop as a commercial designer, as well as creative designer. And of course, that’s what everybody dreams of. He has the balance between commerciality and creativity.”

“I think [his designs] might have had similarities in my earlier [career]… We are in 60-something countries now. So you have to be a lot more aware of commerciality and things that work for the shops especially right now because the business and around the world is so difficult for people,” Smith added.

Styles’ investment falls in line with a growing number of celebrities becoming brand shareholders. They include, among others, Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon who invested in Spanx; Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas in skiwear maker Perfect Moment; Beyoncé, Jessica Alba and Rihanna in French accessories firm Destree; Mila Kunis, Cameron Diaz and Gabrielle Union in Autumn Adeigbo, and Mark Wahlberg in Italian sneaker brand P448.

This coat from S.S. Daley (@ssdaley) gives me life

Happy National Bird Day

[ssdaley]

S.S.Daley SS25 Womenswear collection "No suffix, prefix or quotes" was inspired by the life, lovers, work and uniform of the British artist Gluck.

Gluck’s own tailored uniform is echoed in a black wool day coat, worn over a high collar shirt and Daley’s signature roomy pants. A silk twill scarf print of a cross-stitched dalmatian appears on a shirt and matching pleat skirt, slit at the front. Meanwhile, florals on a ripstop trench appear blurred, due to the weaving process: it’s trimmed in ecru leather.

It's been less than a month. He's disappeared for longer than that// it’s really been longer. If you think abjyg it after SSdaley we saw him one tien the day after. Then he was gone for two weeks then Valentino on sept 29 we saw him the 30 and nothing since. So I say it’s been around 6 weeks ish

What are you talking about?

He was at the Valentino show, which was Sept. 29. That will be a month ago tomorrow. He was also spotted walking around Paris on Sept. 30, which means he was seen in public less than a month ago.
