PROTOTYPE RESEARCH_ SERIES 09 AIR-BLOWN LAMINATION ON KNIT

For the first time, Stone Island uses knitwear as the subject of Prototype Research, in a limited edition of 100 pieces created in 100 different colours. Each garment is born from new research and pioneering experimentation that has not yet been industrialized. Building on Stone Island’s tradition of recontextualizing knitwear as outerwear, a water-resistant film membrane is applied in 3D to reversible cotton chenille, using cutting-edge lamination technology. The finished garment is placed onto an inflatable mannequin which is filled with hot air, ensuring perfect adhesion of the membrane onto the knit. #PrototypeResearch
