Stone Island was founded in 1982 by Massimo Osti, an Italian garment engineer and designer. The brand emerged as a secondary line to Osti's earlier venture, C.P. Company, which was known for its military-inspired clothing and innovative fabrics. From the beginning, Stone Island set itself apart by focusing on cutting-edge fabric research and development. Massimo Osti was particularly interested in experimenting with garment dyeing techniques and unconventional materials. If you're a part of the streetwear culture, and probably even if you are not, the compass logo used by Stone Island must have caught your attention. This iconic Stone Island compass logo, which features a boundary-defying compass rose, was inspired by the military insignia. The compass represents the brand's commitment to innovation and exploration. Stone Island's approach to innovation doesn't end with fashion though. Stone Island has an app available for iPhone and Android that allows you to receive the latest news, read more about the brand, and shop for Stone Item clothing. Some collections, such as the NikeLab collaboration and the “Prototype Research Series” were released exclusively via the app.
