Stone Island introduces its latest 82/88 capsule that is dropping in honor of the brand's founding year - 1982. This year, it celebrates its 40th year anniversary and this capsule delivers a commemoratory graphic that reads '82/88.' It can be seen along the back of the designs with a jacquard technique in black polyester and cotton materials.
It also can be seen in a slightly clear and shiny 'PIATTINA 82/88' canvas along with polyester monofilaments and flat nylon threads. Notably, the PIATTINA materials can be seen across a wide range of outerwear items that have been garment-dyed including the bomber jackets and parkas. The milestone honoring graphic details the rest of the range including tees, sweaters, cotton jersey shorts, and more.
