Stone Island was born and grew up with an experimental and technological culture able to dress a circle of easily recognizable street individuals. A strong and sporty DNA, identified by an innovative philosophy and a sportswear design. Born in 1982 from the mind of Massimo Osti. Year after year, the extreme research on new fibers and on dyeing experiments and technological fabric treatments has led the brand towards a contemporary and futuristic name. The curious soul leads Stone Island towards inventions and techniques never used before in the fashion industry. Famous are the nylon monofilament jackets, born from the water filtering technology, the reflective or thermo-sensitive fabrics, the coated nylon cloths and the contrasting non-woven fabrics with Kevlar and polyester felts.
