STONE ISLAND PROTOTYPE RESEARCH_SERIES 09 AIR-BLOWN LAMINATION ON KNIT

The Stone Island Prototype Research_Series are limited editions by design. They feature garments in fabrics and treatments born from research and experimentation processes that have not yet been industrialized. With Prototype Research_Series 09, the brand continues to push the boundaries of fabrication with another pioneering development in garment building technology, air-blown lamination knit. For the first time in its history, Stone Island uses knitwear as the subject of Prototype Research. A pioneering application technology builds on Stone Island’s tradition of recontextualizing knitwear as outerwear.
