Stone Island Partners With Kevlar for Prototype Research_Series 06

Stone Island and material research go hand-in-hand; it’s the Italian mastermind’s bread and butter. Though we’re presented with the experimentation of the season twice a year, rarely do we get an explicit look at its boundary-pushing products, that is until the latest in its Prototype Research Series is unveiled at Milan Design Week. With the arrival of the 6th installment, SI transforms Kevlar into a striking piece of outerwear.

Thanks to its four decades-long history of pushing fabric and color experimentation to its limits, Stone Island need not offer anything too left of field to remain firmly planted in the minds and hearts of its dedicated fans. Each season, there’s plenty to be desired across the board – Ghost Pieces, Shadow Project collections, updated and reimaged fabrications and dye treatments…the list goes on.
