STONE ISLAND
‘PROTOTYPE RESEARCH_SERIES 04’
Stone Island unveiled the latest addition to its ‘Prototype Series’, a limited-edition line that showcases the label’s research and features innovative garments that are, as of yet, impossible to produce on an industrial scale due to their technical complexity. The garment in ‘Nylon Metal’, the label’s iconic iridescent fabric, was sprayed with an adhesive substance and then exposed to cotton flock. The resulting electromagnetic field straightened the fibrils. The manually flocked garment was then dyed using a double recipe for nylon and cotton, producing highly contrasting colors that are different on each garment.
