Summary

JUUN.J and Alpinestars RSRV have officially launched a joint capsule after first previewing it on the Paris runway in January

Oversized leather bombers and rider jackets lead the lineup, finished with exaggerated padding and detailed leather patchwork

Protective volumes and technical details from riding equipment are cut into JUUN.J's architectural tailoring in place of conventional logos

JUUN.J and Alpinestars RSRV have officially launched their capsule collection, a 17-piece lineup that brings the protective construction of motorsport gear into the Korean label’s tailoring. The partnership pairs Samsung C&T Fashion’s global designer label with RSRV, the experimental, high-end line from Italian motorsport outfitter Alpinestars. It first surfaced in January as the closing look of JUUN.J’s Fall/Winter 2026 show at the Théâtre National de Chaillot in Paris.

The capsule is organized across three categories: nine menswear styles, five womenswear styles and three accessories designed to work for both. Its structural backbone is outerwear. Leather bombers and rider jackets take JUUN.J’s signature oversized proportions and build them out with heavy padding, while intricate leather patchwork breaks up each panel and adds to the gear-inspired feel.

That padding is the clearest link to RSRV’s source material. The line exists to bring the protective forms and functional engineering of racing equipment into a fashion setting, and here those forms become the shape of the garment itself. Protective volumes and technical details sit within JUUN.J’s precise, architectural cuts, so the motorsport reference lives in the construction instead of a printed badge or oversized wordmark.

Denim and headwear widen the range, bringing the same visual language into pieces meant for everyday wear. Creative Director Jung Wook-jun presents the result as a continuation of his long practice of taking classic tailoring apart and putting it back together. “By translating the speed and rebellious spirit of motorsports into JUUN.J’s structured approach to luxury, we hope to offer our global audience an entirely new visual perspective,” Jung said in the press release.

The JUUN.J x Alpinestars RSRV collection is available at the JUUN.J Dosan flagship, select JUUN.J locations in major department stores across Korea, and online via Samsung C&T Fashion’s SSF Shop.
