The origins
The f irst collection of Stone Island was born from the creative
mind of Massimo Osti, inspired by the military uniforms
and realised with Tela Stella — a fabric that recalls the waxed
jackets corroded by the sea and by the sun — resulted from
the study of a rigid, full-bodied, two-sided and two-tone truck
tarpaulin which underwent a heavy stone wash procedure.
To this, a “Badge” — a fabric label showing the Stone Island
Compass Rose — was applied.
