Italian stylist Fabiana VARDARO c/o BASICS.BERLIN and Italian fashion label STONE ISLAND are not only a perfect match because they have the same home country – they also share a preference for extraordinary materials. Stone Island is a top-shelf, Italian men's fashion brand with its own retail stores. The label was founded in 1982 by Italian designer Massimo Osti as a second line to complement the C.P. Company main collection. Stone Island made a name for itself as a pioneer in special dyeing techniques and unique, unconventional surface treatments. The brand was one of the first, for example, to use stonewashing as a standard. Have a look at the Shadow Project S/S '19 | Saltwater for 7019 Stone Island on GoSee. stoneisland.com
