STONE ISLAND PRESENT INFINITE COLOURS

Unveiling a feature length film directed by Ken-Tonio Yamamoto, Stone Island share an insight into the community of workers at their headquarters in Ravarino, Italy.

Presenting Infinite Colours, a feature-length film by Ken-Tonio Yamamoto centring on the community of employees at Stone Island’s headquarters in Ravarino, Italy, the docu-poem examines the iconic Italian brand’s creative approach to fabric experimentation, dyeing and garment design.

Blending documentary storytelling with a more poetic visual approach, Infinite Colours deftly conveys the progressive essence of Stone Island’s storied history. Revealing never-before seen footage of the factory, the film celebrates Stone Island’s employees, spotlighting how their personal input has led to the brand creating some of their most famous fabrics and garments.

Combining testimonies from Stone Island’s expansive workforce of talented employees with conceptual shots, the film beautifully encapsulates the magic of the brand and the distinctive conditions that have led to it becoming the global powerhouse that it is today. Solely focussing on the employee community, Yamamoto’s lens follows different workers as they carry out their processes: from the selection of specific raw materials to the final garment’s construction, the brand’s instantly recognisable dyeing processes and their extensive archive that preserves their work.
