Kim Jones wears DIOR | STONE ISLAND 493L419A0759C989 BLACK LAMBSKIN FIELD JACKET: This piece in grainy nappa leather takes inspiration from the 20th century aviator style jackets, with wear these tended to shine or crack, revealing the background colour. To replicate this effect, the use of specific resins and waxes prevent the perfect adhesion of the colour to the leather, this effect is then further enhanced by hand. The colour is then blocked through unique finishing techniques. This process makes each leather slightly different from each other and each garment one of a kind.

Wayne McGregor wears DISSOLVING GRID CAMO ON ECONYL® REGENERATED NYLON: A new artisanal camo created by Stone Island, made by printing through different scales of mesh then photocopying and manipulating the results. The camo is digitally printed on NYLON METAL made from ECONYL® regenerated nylon lightweight canvas, the print slightly shrinking when dyed to create an effect like corrupted seersucker. It’s used on a military-inspired jackets and a vest, as well as a rounded zip-up.  The optical illusion of this camo is emphasised on the Dissolving Grid CAMO MESH ON REFELCTIVE made from ECONYL® regenerated nylon with a double-layer long zip-up coat, which has a layer of transparent mesh over a reflective base, both printed with the same camo but with different placements. #StoneIslandSS24

Presenting a short film about artist Hasani Sahlehe, whose work was shown with Tif Sigfrids gallery in New York as part of Frieze Focus, of which Stone Island is the Official Partner. Sahlehe is an Atlanta-based multidisciplinary artist and educator from St Thomas, US Virgin Islands, whose practice involves rhythmic abstract painting, installation and performance. His interest is in the natural and supernatural, involving surrender to chance and being present in the moment, as seen in his key work “Trying Green”, which is featured on special uniform T-shirts, the first in a series, designed for Frieze personnel to wear at the fair in New York and around the world.

The Stone Island Prototype Research_Series are limited editions, by nature. They feature garments in fabrics and/or treatments born from research and experimentation processes that have not yet been industrialized.   The Series_08 fabric is borrowed from the advanced industrial techniques that aim to create rigid shells for the automotive, boating and sports sectors, starting from flexible and multiaxial components. This fabric is born from A collaboration between stone island and three industrial partners that has allowed the modification of some technical treatments to obtain a flexible, translucent and water resistant experimental material, usable in the field of clothing. The process involves the creation of a multiaxial linen textile base as a natural reinforcement material, subsequent needle-cohesion to a non-woven fabric veil, state-of-the-art inkjet printing with pigments and double lamination of aliphatic polyurethane film. The 100 print artworks - one created per garment - recompose into a large fresco, a dreamlike organic landscape reminiscent of a primordial world The cape style is inspired by the very first Stone Island collection in 1982 – a functional reference to a military garment that could evolve into a tent.   A STONE ISLAND RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTATION PROJECT     INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS: SELCOM_GRUPPO FC: TEXTILE BASE CONSTRUCTION DE.

Stone Island has opened a new store at Hankyu Men’s Tokyo in Japan. The space is distinguished by a careful attention to materiality as seen in a wall of green recycled glass blocks, a brown clay wall to showcase the collection, and a mirror whose unique form is reflected in the base of a stainless steel stand. Alongside the inclusion of iconic design elements like a signature green glass table also found in the Munich location and a sandblasted steel changing room featured across stores globally, the new space reflects Stone Island’s ethos of product design and experimentation.

During Milan Design Week 2024, Stone Island will present its Prototype Research_Series 08 Multiaxial Project. The exhibition will take place in Milan and is open to the public from April 15th to April 21st.

Archival graphic stripes are the focus of the Stone Island Marina collection, with the boldness that defines the line.
