A brief history of Stone Island Clothing

The dedication to the study of textile materials is built on the example of founder Massimo Osti, who started the company after changing an existing truck tarpaulin material through heavy stone washing to the point of it becoming an entirely new fabric. Seven different jackets were made out of the fabric, which he called “Tela Stella” and inspired him to launch an entirely new brand instead of selling them under his
already existing brand C.P. Company. With the addition of the iconic “Badge” on the left arm, showing a wind rose and channeling the insignia of a military captain, Stone Island was born – a brand named after the most recurring words in the novels of Joseph Conrad.

 

What is Stone Island’s cultural impact?

Over the years, Stone Island Clothing has found an audience in many different subcultures around the world. The Paninari, an 80s youth movement in Italy, exhibited their styles in the streets of Milan, while the 90s Britpop scene was equally inspired by the unique clothes. Later on, UK football fans adopted Stone Island Clothing as part of their Terrace Culture, and today streetwear enthusiasts worldwide connect with the brand. Stone Island will undoubtedly continue to uphold its integrity well into the future under the direction of Carlo Rivetti, who joined the company early on in 1983 and shares founder Osti’s dedication for relentless experimentation and innovation.
