Stone Island's Latest Apparel Experiment Sees "Mixed Fabric" Results

When you look past the surface level of Stone Island's creations, you'll soon realise is about more than "getting the badge in." Since the early '80s, The Italian sportswear iconic has championed an experimentative approach to production, and this latest Mixed Fabric collection is a prime example of that.

Developed in the Stone Island experimental dyeing facility, the Mixed Fabric range is made by assembling a variety of different fabrics and material compositions. Nylon, cotton and cupro work in unison to create both unique texture and aesthetics unlike what most will be familiar with. Anoraks, hooded blousons, zip sweatshirts, and trousers have all been engineered using this unique process, making way for a vast selection of elevated day-to-day staples.

Naturally, Stone Island hasn't skimped on the colour selection. Shades of pink, green, purple, black and dark beige all receive an elaborate double-colour dyeing process, enhancing colour absorption for maximum vividness. For those looking to get their hands on the Stone Island Mixed Fabric collection, it is currently available on the brand's website for purchase.
