The North We Share: Stone Island x SEVENSTORE SS26 Denim Research Campaign

The North We Share is a community-led campaign I creative directed for Stone Island’s Spring/Summer 2026 Denim Research collection, produced in collaboration with Northern streetwear retailer, SEVENSTORE. The campaign brings together a range of Stone Island consumers across the North, highlighting the brand’s influence across different subcultures and generations.

Using the compass badge as a symbol of shared direction, identity and connection, the project explores how the brand unites individuals from diverse backgrounds. The cast includes multidisciplinary creative Alina Akbar, rapper and producer RenzNiro, vintage store owner Sebastian Dixon and musician and football fan Mike Porter, each representing a different sector within the North’s creative and cultural landscape.
