“This is a brand and a label that was founded in a certain part of Italy that is not necessarily known for fashion per se, but for industrial design,” noted Triefus. Among its inventions is Raso Gommato, made by coating a military-origin cotton satin with a polyurethane film that makes the fabric wind resistant, and dyeing the garment with a mixture containing a special PFC-free, water-repellent finish.The weatherproof textile was used on a number of looks, ranging from outerwear pieces like a marbled pale gray jacket with deep front pockets, to tailored options like a suit in oilskin yellow, one of the key colors in the collection.
“I just thought if we’re going to do it, and there is that collector of Stone Island and also of Dior that wants a special piece that they love, I think that’s a very important thing to have,” Jones said. “It’s molding the stories together in a very luxurious way.” The capsule collection with Dior will land as Stone Island starts to deploy the next chapter of its campaign, which will include a female participant for the first time, and prepares to bring its e-commerce back in-house with a website to be unveiled in August.
