Is Destroy Lonely bringing Alpinestars into the ever-complex and growing fashion conversation of 2024? Moto-core has always been in style since its rise in the late 60s. Alpinestars, founded in Italy in 1963, is known for its fashionable and technical, high-performance gear for motorcycle racing and other action and motor sports.

At his Los Angeles album release party last week, Destroy Lonely was spotted rocking the Alpinestars RSRV line, their high-end fashion collection that's a departure from their usual styles. He looked dark and moody in a black leather moto jacket on stage, perfectly matching the vibe of his latest album, LOVE LASTS FOREVER.

Throughout its journey, Alpinestars has earned a reputation in the motorsports industry as being high fashion and even has its own community of Alpinestars archivists.

Destroy Lonely is certainly not alone when it comes to rocking Alpinestars gear. In the past few years, the brand has been seen on the likes of Justin Bieber, Tony Hawk, Kanye West, Travis Scott, ASAP Rocky, Pharrell and more, further solidifying its influence across various industries.

In recent years, Alpinestars has continued to make waves in the motorsports and fashion industries through various collaborations, technological innovation, and high-profile partnerships.

The brand has also begun to focus on sustainability by incorporating eco-friendly materials into their newer pieces. This is definitely in sync with the rapidly-growing sentiment around environmental impact and waste in the fashion industry, see upcycling.

‎ 

Alpinestars has been continually evolving and adapting to meet the changing needs and preferences of its audience for over 60 years now, remaining a prominent and influential brand in the fashion and motorsports industries.

Alpinestars RSRV has an impressive crop of official brand ambassadors with Destroy Lonely being their most popular. Here is what Alpinestars has to say about Lone via their site:

“‘Baby, I’m the fashion demon,’ proclaims Destroy Lonely on his flag-planting anthem If Looks Could Kill. Often clad in Rick Owens-esque goth glam, he’s one of the artists spearheading a new style movement in Hip Hop, exploring a murdered-out-couture aesthetic.

‎ 

This past April, Lone took to the stage at Coachella in a complete Alpinestars kit including the Missile V3 Airflow Pant. Alpinestars develops apparel that is obsessively built for performance, whether you’re twisting a throttle or gripping a mic, but Destroy Lonely is doing what RSRV is all about—breaking from the status quo, challenging norms, and finding that sweet spot between places.

‎ 

Lately, he’s been constructing fits with calculated combinations of color (or lack thereof) and textures that have included several Alpinestars technical pieces. From the conspicuously-colored Fluid Lucent MX Jersey to protective pairings like the SMX-6 V2 boots, and SMX-2 air carbon."
