THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS
As in the virtuous Flemish tradition of painting, a distorting lens allows us to discover the hidden details, what is not on display, of PROTOTYPE RESEARCH_SERIES 06, involving the body in a multi-sensory empathic experience. Four concentric circles that act as a diaphragm towards the next floor create a visual tunnel that leads the gaze from the macro to the micro, while still leaving the observer free to build a personal perception of the maquette. From the close-up of the weave of the fabric to the distortion of the form-armour through to kaleidoscopic shades of the colour and logo, the perception of vision varies as the observer moves through the space, being required to participate in a performance.
Prototype Series are limited native editions Since 2016, they are created by Stone Island to give light to research that, given their complexity of experimentation are not yet industrializable. This creates unique projects of 100 numbered items, made with innovative technologies in new fabrics and treatments.
SERIES 06 is the result of the close collaboration between the @Kevlarbrand R&D team and the STONE ISLAND research and experimentation department.

’4 decades of innovation’ monumental celebrations of the Stone Island 40th anniversary were activated all at once around the world. Throughout the streets of New York came a stream of guerilla posters scattered over 40 locations within the city, all brandishing QR codes that led viewers to a movie created especially for the anniversary. Celebrations culminated in a giant digital billboard displayed in Times Square.

’4 decades of innovation’ monumental celebrations of the Stone Island 40th anniversary were activated all at once around the world. Throughout the streets of Milan came a stream of posters, urban billboards and projections brandishing QR codes that led viewers to a movie created especially for the anniversary. Celebrations culminated in a giant flag flying in Piazza Duomo and QR code bedsheets being hung from balconies across the Italian fashion capital.
