Stone Island is not known for its flash and gimmickry. Stone Island deals in casual wear staple pieces. So how are Stone Island pieces always so recognizable? Their reputation lies in their ability to do these garments in a way that nobody else is. This is why technology and functionality are as much a part of the Stone Island ethos as impeccable style is.
