A culture of research, experimentation, function and use are the matrixes that have always defined Stone Island: the sportswear brand established in 1982, designed to become a symbol of extreme research on fibres and textiles, applied to an innovative design. The study of uniforms and of work wear, its evolution according to new requirements of use, has become Stone Island’s observation post for defining a project in which the clothing item’s function is never just aesthetic. With the archive as a strong point of reference, the insatiable curiosity of sounding the present and the tension towards possible future scenarios Stone Island continues to evolve and break new boundaries.
