Stone Island was born from the creation of a new material, and its philosophy, related to innovation from work uniforms and military inspiration, remains unchanged in its jackets and outerwear.
Stone Island Jackets at the Core of Their Inspiration
Stone Island emerged as an idea from designer Massimo Osti to develop the possibilities of a new fabric called Tela Stella, which turned out to be perfect for jackets, coats, and outerwear. The inspiration for the name came from the novels of another adventurer, Joseph Conrad, but its style was related to the sea, where garments had to demonstrate all their technical capabilities.
Stone Island Jackets and Subcultures
Since its inception in 1982, the distinctive Stone Island patch on jackets and outerwear became recognizable among youth who wore its garments for their avant-garde designs with real functionality. Stone Island, mainly its coats and jackets, became a key element of the paninaro movement in the eighties, traveled to the UK as a must-have for the terrace culture, and in the nineties, shielded the new generations of Brit Pop.
Since then, Stone Island jackets have managed to capture the spirit of trends and styles while maintaining their functionality and researching new materials.
