Stone Island Prototype Research _Series 06 Dévoré with Kevlar® Core at Milan Design Week 2022 Visit us from Tuesday 7th to Sunday 12th June _ 10am – 7pm Stone Island Showroom Via Savona 54 20144 Milan _Italy Prototype Series are limited native editions Since 2016, they are created by Stone Island to give light to research that, given their complexity of experimentation are not yet industrializable. This creates unique projects of 100 numbered items, made with innovative technologies in new fabrics and treatments. SERIES 06 is the result of the close collaboration between the @Kevlarbrand R&D team and the STONE ISLAND research and experimentation department. Kevlar® fibre has a unique combination of high strength, high toughness and thermal stability: this textured woven fabric uses a 100% DuPont™ Kevlar® Nm200/l core yarn double covered with Nm170/2 cotton yarn. The use of "stretch broken" technology, combined with high precision Kevlar® filament, is the sole technology to create an extraordinarily fine yarn, which allows it to be covered in cotton. The engineered use of the dévoré printing technique disintegrates the cotton yarn, creating an all­ over pattern that reveals the Kevlar® core with its characteristically yellow colour. The unveiled yarns creates a sort of light technical lace. The resin treatment adds texture to the lightweight, but strong fabric. The garment is washed with the addition of a special PFC-free, water repellent finish. Kevlar® is a trademark of
