Stone Island reflective fabrics

THE ARCHIVE

REFLECTIVE

REFLECTIVE–

In 1992, Stone Island began its research on reflective fabrics based on the study of safety work wear, leading to the idea of coating textiles with resins containing thousands of glass microspheres. Through the years, Stone Island has evolved its research, extending interpretations of the concept to different textile bases and to the many experimental processes applied to finished garments.

In 2016, Stone Island’s research introduced garment dyeing to reflective fabrics.

The garment dyeing procedure, with the addition of a special anti-drop agent, lends extraordinary color to the textile base.
