When did racing suits become fashion? At the center of this shift is Alpinestars RSRV. Exploring the intersection of racing and fashion, RSRV is the premium apparel line that reimagines materials, hardware, and protective components from actual MotoGP suits into new silhouettes. Even leather from damaged racing suits that can no longer be used on the track is repurposed for garments and hangtags, proof that RSRV goes beyond simply borrowing the graphics and imagery of motorsports. Balenciaga has collaborated with Alpinestars since SS24, while RSRV has also worked with Heliot Emil, JUUN.J, and others. Most notably, six collaborative looks with RSRV appeared on the runway at JUUN.J's FW26 Paris collection.
Now, these pieces can finally be seen in Seoul. At ADDICTED Seoul in Gangnam, visitors can explore RSRV's FW26 collection, 'The Grit Era,' and its latest offerings. As technology originally engineered for the track becomes part of fashion, which RSRV piece would you want to wear?
