COMMUNITY AS A FORM OF RESEARCH–
Stone Island continua a esplorare le sottoculture di cui si compone la sua community globale, dedicando il nuovo capitolo alla chef Ruth Rogers che è ritratta per la campagna Primavera_Estate '025 mentre indossa la giacca 4100040 Raw Linen Plated-OVD e parla delle massime che segue nella vita, del suo film preferito e del miglior consiglio che abbia mai ricevuto.

4100040 RAW LINEN PLATED-OVD
Giacca con cappuccio in leggero panno di puro lino grezzo, permeato all’esterno da speciali resine trasparenti. La tecnica di tintura in capo ‘muove’ la resina: il colore viene così assorbito in modo eterogeneo, esaltando la naturale struttura irregolare del lino. Tinta in capo con ricette specifiche.
03 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.
Question 01 of 100
Who are the artists who inspire you?
Eva Hesse, Cy Twombly, Philip Guston, Caravaggio, Cézanne, de Kooning, Pollock, Tiepolo. I could go on.
Question 02 of 100
Is there an exhibition that inspired you?
The retrospective that stays with me always is by Gerhard Richter. In the Tate, late ‘80s.
Question 03 of 100
Are there any quotes you live by?
“Give a big party in a small space.” There's always room for one more person, and it's better to be close together.
Question 10 of 100
What is your favourite movie?
The Godfather (Part One). I first saw it in Paris with Richard.
Question 11 of 100
What ought to change?
Disparity in wealth.
Question 16 of 100
What achievements of yours are you especially proud of?
My family, my children.
Question 17 of 100
What is the first thing you do when you wake up?
I see a still life of cherries in a bowl by Philip Guston hung in my bedroom.
Question 21 of 100
What do you collect?
Mexican folk art figures from Oaxaca. But I’m more of a discarder than a collector.
Question 39 of 100
What advice would you give your younger self?
Be resilient. It doesn't mean be strong, be courageous, be brave. Just resilience.
Question 40 of 100
What’s the best advice you ever received?
On her deathbed, my Italian mother-in-law said, “Ruthie, put less herbs on your fish and more cream on your face.”
Question 42 of 100
Which building would you like to live in?
My house. It was done by my husband Richard. Every day I think how lucky I am.
Question 76 of 100
What do you eat for breakfast?
An espresso.
Question 95 of 100
Do you play a musical instrument?
I play the piano. I’ve been working on the same Mozart sonata probably for the last three years.
Question 96 of 100
Are you a good listener?
I have 140 people working with me in the River Café (with the shop and the podcast and everything else we do). I think the best advice I could give to somebody is to listen.
