[STYLE] STONE ISLAND | GHOST SS’024

Lightness and experimentation with volume is the focus this season for STONE ISLAND GHOST, the monochromatic Stone Island collection based on reduction in design. With details stripped away and each garment all one tone, design decisions and materiality become even more specific, always with a sense of uniform. Actor Jason Statham, director Ken-Tonio Yamamoto and architect Heidulf Gerngross have been photographed by David Sims, following the new campaign iconic images, under the artistic direction of Ferdinando Verderi.

The collection is concentrated on research into two fabrics, both with very different hand feels. Cupro Rasois derived from cotton fibres yet has the feel of silk, with a heritage in military use. This season, it has been cut into a zip-up bomber with PrimaLoft® padding to create the sense of light volume. 

By contrast, trench coats and field jackets have been cut from 100% organic cotton O-VENTILE, a compact fabric trusted in military uniforms because it is both breathable and waterproof. STONE ISLAND GHOST plays with volume using this strict fabric, with a field jacket cut with kimono sleeves to broaden the back, its hood exaggerated by a two-way drawstring, while a trench coat is given extra volume in the top because of its low-cut waist.

Ghost pieces are based on the concept of camouflage and are totally monochromatic. Even their Stone Island badge have been created in a special mono-colour version to blend with the garment.

Field jacket in O-Ventile, a 100% organic version of Ventile®. Developed in the U.K. from the finest, long staple cotton fibre; it is not coated nor laminated. The combination of dense weaving and swelling properties of the fibre when wet, provide an excellent all-weather barrier. Ventile® is an entirely natural product offering a unique level of comfort and touch. It is windproof, breathable and very durable. The organic version retains all the original qualities of the fabric. Thermo-taped seams for additional protection.

Standing collar with concealed hood held by snaps on the inner nylon ribbing. Kimono shoulder and sleeve construction. Horizontal fixed flap on the chest serving as the closing feature, with hidden snap, of the two bellows pockets. Hand pockets with slightly slanted flap and hidden snaps fastening.
