STONE ISLAND SHADOWSTONE ISLAND SHADOW began as a discourse between Sportswear Company owner and creative director Carlo Rivetti and the design team of Michaela Sachenbacher and Errolson Hugh, also known as ACRONYM®. As a platform for exploration, the SHADOW project rapidly evolved into a system based program for a new generation of urban masculine apparel. Thanks to Stone Island’s incredible historical archive, and its unparalleled forward development resources, ACRONYM® sought to conceive a project according to their strong technical and performance based roots. The result is a unique and unprecedented fusion. A fresh and intelligent new light cast upon the timeless interplay of form and function. Calling the project SHADOW underlines the intimate relationship and interaction between this work and the full body of the STONE ISLAND collection.
The tenth iteration of STONE ISLAND SHADOW PROJECT crystalizes the collection. Light. Clear. Direct. Augmented. The new interface is streamlined and void of obfuscation. Composed of enhanced versions of familiar archetypes, Spring Summer ‘013 collection (5819) travels a fast tight arc between the cardinal points of form and function. Fabrics have been chosen for their inherent tension and dynamics. Visual and physical properties are indivisible from each other, presenting a compact unified experience. Hardshell surface effect and sheen are the result of intrinsic aspects of material functionality. Lightshell and next to skin fabric composition directly affect color nuance and saturation. All combine to reveal an unambiguously modern rendition of what you see is what you get.
