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.
