Premium Italian brand Stone Island is known for its high-performance textiles, unique techniques and refined aesthetic. To highlight the complex experimentation and craftsmanship behind some of its most popular garments, Stone Island has released a second instalment to its “Prototype Research Series” exhibition for Tortona Design Week in Milan, Italy. Previously, Series 01 focused on the label’s reflective textiles; this time, Series 02 zeroes in on how Stone Island applies its famous garment dye to Dyneema, “the strongest and most durable lightweight fibre in the world.” The multi-media installation exhibition showcases 50 different shades of its famous jacket and features mirrored floors and ceilings fitted with monitor displays for a fully-immersive experience. Stone Island’s “Prototype Research Series 02 Garment Dyed Dyneema” is open from April 4 to April 9. Find more details here.
