Recent years have seen Stone Island make forays into the niche side of fashion in which we operate. Collaborations such as Stone Island x Supreme and Stone Island x Nike have catapulted the Italian outerwear giants into the realms of Hypebeast and Complex without turning their backs on the luxury jacket market where they most definitely rule the roost.
Massimo Osti has left a legacy of forward thinking 'garment engineers' at the helm of Stone Island, with Carlo Rivetti (having worked side-by-side with the main man himself) imprinting Osti's design process on the next generation of fashion designers. Famed for their innovation in garment & material dyeing, Stone Island are renowned for their depth in colour pallets. It doesn't stop there. Pioneering fabrics such as the David-TC (which was introduced back in 2006) still play a strong role in every season's jacket collection and continue to inform and inspire other like-minded brands and designers, for example Ten C in their use of Original Japanese Jersey. Indeed, Ten C is Paul Harvey's baby and he played an integral part in the research that developed David-TC when he was designing for Stone Island during that period.
Stone Island's mission statement is: to be destined to become a symbol of extreme research in fibres and textiles, applied to an innovative design, redefining the common understanding of sportswear. Long may it continue!
