PURE METAL SHELL –
At the end of the 20th century and beginning of the third millennium, Stone Island turned the focus of its research to metals, creating two parkas, made for the first time in 100% steel and a 100% bronze metal mesh, bonding them to a textile base.

01 CONCEPT
The metal mesh is a living material with the features of metallic materials when used untreated, and therefore they are subject to oxidation over time, losing its shine. The worn look, creases and breaks that form on the surface are features that make each garment different from the next. The pure metal concept has been evolved by Stone Island though years, to create unique garments. With the Pure Metal Shell, the Autumn Winter ’999 -’000 collection saw the introduction of the Stone Island badge with white embroidery, for garments created using advanced research into fabrics or processes.
