Stone Island
MonocleStone Island Ghost: Stealth mode
Launched 43 years ago with a line of jackets that ingeniously reworked military tarp, Stone Island has been at the forefront of material research ever since. From developing new fabrics such as rubberised wool to formulating recipes for more than 60,000 garment dyes, this culture of experimentation has transformed the Italian label into one of fashion’s most technically advanced – and respected – names.

Stone Island Ghost is the pinnacle of this relentless innovation, distilling decades of research into a range of monochrome garments that exude a quiet confidence – down to the single-hued reworking of the brand’s famous badge. Ghost pieces are inspired by extreme camouflage, by a desire to blend in, with this season’s collection drawing on the muted colours of salt flats.

Decades of experimentation allow a uniformity of colour across Ghost’s premium fabrics. From traditional leathers like lambskin to new materials such as Alcantara, a trademarked soft non-woven fabric, the collection’s palette is perfectly harmonised.
