In 2012 Stone Island will be celebrating its 30th anniversary. Having started in 1982 with just one fabric in six colors, the brand never stopped to innovate and is today doing better than every before. During Pitti Uomo Summer 2012, they will be hosting a show and a retrospective showcasing the brand’s vast archive and key areas. Furthermore they will be releasing a book for its 30th anniversary, featuring 300 iconic images. The book will release June/July 2012.

Of course there will also be special product for the occasion. One of three specials, we can already show you today – the Reflective Knit.

“Transferring technology from fabric to yarn, the ultimate in Stone Island research. Created using a Reflective yarn, built with micro plates covered with thousands of glass microspheres enclosed in a polyester net, printed using pressure/heat sublimation to melt the fibers and get an even surface with a jersey and high performance Windstopper® liner.”

You can be sure that we will report extensively about the other garments and events around the anniversary. A further look at the reflective knit follows after the jump.

This new piece of knitwear from the Martin Margiela 10 Fall/Winter 2011 Collection best shows what we love most about the collection – the interesting twists and smart details.

“A rich wool blend sweater featuring a contrast bib made from cable knit cotton fabric. This amazing piece of knitwear draws inspiration from classic cricket v-necks but gives it a subversive twist by being made from two different fabrics and textures.”

This season in comes in two colorways, both available now from Por Vocacao.

Today we present the latest collection of London knitwear brand Sibling. Knitwear is one of those areas in fashion that hardly ever gets enough attention. What we love most about it, is the fact that simple details and quality improvements can make a huge difference. Also, unlike a lot of other product, knitwear seems to be more timeless. Sibling takes an interesting approach, mixing bold pieces with more classic ones, yet always going the extra step to set themselves apart from everybody else. Interesting patterns, bold embroideries, leather details and sometimes also crazy pieces, such as a knitted panda mask find their way into their collections, not forgetting the fun in design. It looks like they also worked with Pure Evil and Cassette Playa on some pieces for their Collection 6.

Here below is also a short video that they produced for the new line.

Many more pictures of the Sibling Collection 6 follow after the jump.

Monsieur Lacenaire is a new French brand specializing in high end knitwear. A while back we had the chance to check them out live and were impressed right away.

“The designer Garance Broca, who worked at Hermes for three years, took her knowledge to make knitwear that’s classic and subtly subversive. Which means they’ve got knitted varsities’ (like the one you see above), cardigans with plackets that turn into scarves and other little twists that show off a slight edge in knitting know how. Made in the same factories she visited during her time in Hermes, the collection uses Alpaca (both regular and the baby kind) and Italian merino for the wools, making everything in France.”

The best piece in the collection was the knitted varsity jacket, which you see on the above image.

A further look at the Fall/Winter 2011 Collection follows here.

This weekend the first product releases for the new Spring/Summer 2011 season are coming from uniform experiment. Next to the beautiful above tote bag, the brand is releasing some solid knitwear, as well as beautiful light weight scarves. We are not sure it was very smart of them to use the tricolor design on some of their items. Even though it might not be owned by Moncler and Thom Browne, in the fashion circus it is certainly associated with them. Otherwise the releases look really nice and are certainly something to be looking out for.

More new product follows after the jump.

Among our favorite pieces from the new Soulland Fall/Winter 2010 Collection is the Norwegian Knit pieces. The brand presents ponchos and sweaters with the classic patterns, each coming in several colorways. Even though a poncho might be hard to pull off as a guy, we like the idea of it, the comfort and especially the practicability. Both the sweaters and ponchos are now in stock at Soto Berlin.
