Stone Island

A Culture of research, experimentation, function and use are the metrics that have always defined Stone Island: the sportswear brand established in 1982 in Ravarino, in the Modena area, by the genius that is Massimo Osti, Art Director, and Bolognese intellectuel. 

Within just one year, Carlo Rivetti came into the scene. Having bought, with the GFT, 50% Osti’’s company in 1983, he took over the whole of the company in 1993 with his sister Cristina, promising the continuity that over the years reinforced the DNA of the brand.

Destined to become a symbol of extreme research in fibers and textiles, applied to an innovative design, it is known as the brand that redefined the common understanding of sportswear.
Stone Island strength lies in its unique capacity to work on the finish garment, via continues experimentation with dyes and treatments created in the Sportswear Company colour laboratory that over the years developed more than 60.000 different dye recipes.
