Stone Island
The label began in Italy in 1982 when the brand CP Company acquired an industrial fabric that took on two different colours when dipped in dye. Unsuitable for the then-conservative CP, a new label was created especially for it. Named after a book the firm’s visionary designer Massimo Osti was reading, they called it Stone Island Marina. In 2009, Stone Island is stronger than ever with devotees all over the world.
Forget the brand’s ubiquity with a certain type of football supporter in the late ’90s, Stone Island’s exquisite clothes are classics that inhabit a space beyond fashion. As founder of football/fashion fanzine ‘Boss’, Daniel Nicolson says, “Stone Island has come full circle. People now recognise its undoubted quality. In a way, I wear it in spite of the badge, not because of it – the clothes are that good they speak for themselves.”
