The Prototype Series by Stone Island

The Prototype Series are limited native editions. They are created by Stone Island to give light to research that, given their complexity of experimentation, are not yet industrializable. This creates unique projects of a few numbered items, made with innovative technologies in new fabrics and treatments.

The exposed garment is made with a mix of 4 polyamide based canvas fabrics,with different weights, compositions andshrinkages.
The finished piece is treated with a complex high temperature dyeing process that colours, shrinks and compacts the materials from 0 to over 25%, re-proportioning the aesthetics.This is possible thanks toStone Island’s expertise in pattern mak­ing and to the know-how of its colour laboratory. The different reactions to the treatment characterizes the hand and the appearance of all fabrics used for the garment.
