Stone Island, an Italian luxury men's apparel brand, was founded in 1982 by Massimo Osti. Known for its innovative fabric treatments and dyeing techniques, Stone Island gained prominence for its focus on function and utility, demonstrated in products such as thermosensitive and reflective jackets made from a unique fabric engineered with thousands of glass microspheres. The brand's iconic compass badge, which is buttoned onto the upper left arm or leg of its garments, has become a symbol of quality and style among fans. Stone Island's continual can with different materials, processes, and details pushes the boundaries of functional fashion. Over the years, the brand's collaborations reflect its commitment to functional fashion and include partnerships with Nike on golf apparel and the Sock Dart, footwear with New Balance, and multiple streetwear-inspired collections with Supreme.
