COMMUNITY AS A FORM OF RESEARCH–
Stone Island continua a esplorare le sottoculture di cui si compone la sua community globale, dedicando questo nuovo capitolo al regista e docente NYU Spike Lee che, immortalato nella giacca 4100038 Metal Cover per la campagna Primavera_Estate '025, racconta degli artisti che sono per lui una fonte di ispirazione, della sua visione del futuro e di come si schiarisce le idee.

4100038 METAL COVER
Un materiale che vede la tela di nylon intangibile monofilamento fare da supporto al film di poliuretano metallizzato color argento. Il processo di tintura in capo colora la tela e dona all’argento del rivestimento esterno sfumature intense, esaltate dall’inconfondibile aspetto increspato.
02 INTERVISTA
Concepito come forma di ricerca, il progetto indaga quei tratti che fanno unica la community del brand. La narrazione si arricchisce di una serie di domande pensate appositamente per i volti ritratti.
