Just ahead of graduation season, Hollister and singer-songwriter Gigi Perez have teamed up to release the first official cover of Green Day’s enduring hit and a matching limited apparel drop. The move—announced March 26, 2026—ties a widely recognized farewell song to a capsule collection aimed at high-school seniors and shoppers planning spring celebrations.
The cover, a reinterpretation of “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)”, arrives across streaming and social platforms alongside an official music video directed by filmmaker Natalie Simmons. Hollister calls the apparel line the Time of Your Life collection, a small range of clothing and accessories that includes subtle graduation motifs and customizable options.
Gigi Perez framed the collaboration as personal and nostalgic, noting the song’s role in her own teen years and the creative fit with Hollister. Hollister’s creative leadership described the campaign as an attempt to capture the transitional mood of senior year by featuring members of the brand’s community in the film and using a live-recorded performance to anchor the video’s emotional core.

What to know right now

- Artist: Gigi Perez, performing a new version of Green Day’s classic.
- Collection: Time of Your Life — limited drop of clothing, jewelry and accessories with “Class of,” “2026” and “Senior” details.

The collaboration aims to marry a familiar cultural moment—a song that has become synonymous with graduations—with a product range timed to seasonal demand. For students and parents, that means new merchandise choices tied to an emotionally resonant track; for the retailer, it’s a way to engage a younger audience during a peak buying window.
Not every piece in the drop is overtly branded. Several items use understated type and small charms or patches to signal graduation status, while other pieces lean into Hollister’s casual, beach-influenced aesthetic. The brand is also offering a few customizable accents intended for personalizing gifts or keepsakes.
| Item | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Feel Good Senior Graphic Hoodie | $59.95 | Sizes XXS–XXL |
| Fleece Senior Graphic Joggers | $49.95 | Sizes XXS–XXL |
| Class of 2026 Charm Necklace | $9.95 | 16-inch chain |
| Legally Blonde–inspired Graphic Cami | $19.95 | Pop-culture reference included |
Beyond merch, the campaign leans on storytelling. The music video captures the small rituals of senior year—late-night hangs, last games, and the quiet tension of saying goodbye—framed around Perez’s live performance. Hollister says casting members of its community gave the film an authentic, lived-in feel rather than a staged ad.
For shoppers, the practical takeaway is straightforward: the capsule is limited and timed for graduation season, so pieces tied to specific class-year details may not return once sold out. Fans of Perez or listeners who have long associated the song with milestone moments can stream the cover now, while those planning gifts can find the collection online or at participating stores.
Store activations are scheduled for April 4 at select U.S. Hollister locations; the brand’s website lists participating stores and event details. The campaign may offer a template for how retailers blend cultural touchstones with seasonal product drops to reach Gen Z consumers this spring.
Listen to Gigi Perez’s version of “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” on major platforms and find the limited-edition Time of Your Life collection at HollisterCo.com and in stores while supplies last.
