21 September - 6 November 2026–
Selected Works '982-'026_Stone Island: The Collector Series is the first formal collaboration with the independent collectors who have helped preserve, interpret and shape the culture of the brand over four decades. Bringing together Stone Island's living archive and the collector community that has grown around it, the project gives collectors a platform to present their own research, archives and perspectives on the brand. The project runs from 21 September - 6 November 2026 at the Corner Shop, Selfridges London.
01 THE PROJECT
Designed by Willo Perron, Stone Island’s Corner Shop takeover is conceived as an active build: an evolving spatial system that brings together collector archives, current collections, and exclusive products. Drawing on the brand’s legacy of material experimentation and engineered performance, soft structures and modular components form a flexible architecture that is reconfigured throughout the installation, mirroring the weekly rotation of collectors and garments.
Over a six-week installation at the Corner Shop at Selfridges, the archives of collectors Arco Maher, Better Gift Shop, ‘bout, 194 Local, Louis Holsgrove, Metallic Curtain, Pezze, and SimJae will be presented in dialogue with the Autumn_Winter '026–'027 collection and a series of products exclusive to Selfridges.

03 EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTS
A series of exclusive and archival products are available for purchase as part of the project, for a limited time.
The exclusive CCS0460 Hand-Treated Leather Organza jacket is made from lightweight lambskin, bonded to an ultra-fine polyester organza that lends
structure and stability to the leather. The inner seams are heat-sealed with reflective tape to define the geometry of the garment. The piece is treated with an airbrushed shading, followed by the manual application of pigments to create a textured and faded effect. It is then washed in a tumbler to blend and even out the finish.
Alongside the exclusive pieces, a selection of iconic pieces from the Stone Island archive are available to purchase, including the SS '007 David-TC Sublimation Print jacket and the AW '989-'990 Ice Jacket Thermosensitive.
The AW '026-'027 collection is also available to shop as part of the project.
04 PASSPORT: A DOCUMENTARY FILM
Directed by Glenn Kitson, 'Passport' documents Stone Island collectors across seven cities in seven countries: London, Paris, Naples, New York, Toronto, Seoul and Tokyo. The film offers a cross-cultural conversation between archivists and custodians of the brand, united by an appreciation of its unique design perspective.
05 CULTURAL PROGRAMMING
The Corner Shop takeover is accompanied by a cultural programme extending the project's exploration of archive, research and community across film, sound and conversation.
Public events include the inaugural London edition of the music format STONE ISLAND SOUND PRESENTS: STUDIO ONE_LONDON, and a live in-person conversation between three of the defining figures behind Stone Island: Carlo Rivetti, Paul Harvey, and Aitor Throup.
Coinciding with SELECTED WORKS '982–'026_STONE ISLAND: THE COLLECTOR SERIES Stone Island returns as the Official Partner of Frieze Focus, the platform dedicated to emerging artists. The 2026 edition of Frieze London marks the brand’s 12th fair partnership, reaffirming its commitment to supporting the art community by providing each participating gallery with a bursary to enable its participation in the fair.
At Frieze London 2026, Stone Island will also present the latest edition of the Frieze Focus Artist Uniform T-shirt series, this year featuring an artwork by Arébénor Basséne, presented by Selebe Yoon.
06 STONE ISLAND SOUND PRESENTS FRIENDLY PRESSURE: STUDIO ONE_LONDON
STUDIO ONE is an immersive extension of Stone Island Sound, bringing together musical genres, sounds and artists through a shared spirit of experimentation. Making its London debut from 25-27 September at The Old Selfridges Hotel, STONE ISLAND SOUND PRESENTS FRIENDLY PRESSURE: STUDIO ONE_LONDON marks the fourth edition of the format. The three-day programme unfolds through a custom sound system.
07 STONE ISLAND: IN CONVERSATION WITH CARLO RIVETTI, PAUL HARVEY AND AITOR THROUP
For the first time, Carlo Rivetti, Paul Harvey and Aitor Throup come together for a special conversation exploring the past, present and future of Stone Island, held at Central Saint Martins, London. The event brings together three key figures who have shaped the brand across different eras, sharing their perspectives on product, research, innovation and design, and tracing the evolution of Stone Island’s unique design ethos and philosophy.
