Fashion label Stone Island follows its SS18 series with its latest 'Garment Dyed Plated Reflective' capsule. The new collection from the label introduces two new and innovative fabric materials, used to craft the series' overalls, vest, and anorak. The brand uses a nylon tela base plated with a extremely reflective white coat, which makes the material both waterproof and windproof. The windproof resin bath has thousands of glass microspheres implemented. There is also a nylon jersey material with double layering and a functional membrane within.
The Garment Dyed Plated Reflective Capsule had a dyed finish with a specialized formula incorporated to refrain from it affecting the reflective component. The pieces are offered in blue, musk green, and black, and priced at approximately $455 to $1,170 USD. The collection is available for purchase online and via the Stone Island app until March 14th.
