Stone Island has released a new waterproof blazer as part of their Autumn/Winter 2009 Shadow project. Available in both grey and black, the wool/nylon blend jacket features a fine-tailored design with removable cuffs for suitability in different environments. Although the blazer is somewhat tailored, it’s still cut roomy enough to layering with Stone Island’s existing technical garments. Now available at The-Glade.

A while ago we gave you a detailed look at the adidas Originals Five-Two 3 Project Stone Island Samba. The Italian brand translated the principles of their brand onto the sneaker with an interesting outcome. Today we show you a blue colorway of the sneaker, that will probably never release. It features the same characteristics as the production model, using a zipper, several logo placements and upper material that Stone Island produced for the shoe.

UPDATE: We just got an update from adidas about the shoe. This is actually not an unreleased colorway, but an in-store exclusive for Stone Island flagship stores. So, look out, as these will actually be released in even more limited quantities than the other colorway!

Stone Island produced a special video to showcase the new Shadow Project Fall/Winter 2009 Collection, a collaborative line with Erolson Hugh from Acronym. Via Beinghunted.

After a first small preview of some of the collaborations from the adidas Originals Five-Two 3 Brands Pack, we can finally show you detailed images and give you lots of background information on each one of the releases. First we present you the adidas x Stone Island Samba.

Renowned for their trailblazing work in researching fabric treatments and studying form and function, Stone Island’s take on the Samba soccer training silhouette defies convention, taking the recognisable ‘Raso Gommato’ technical fabric from the brand’s archive, a rubberised military cotton satin, and treating it with an original process. Dyeing the separate upper components then unleashing a colour corrosion on it, washing off the colour, bar the serrated 3-Stripes to emphasise this iconic branding, highlighted with stitch detailing, and a more traditional suede forked forefoot panel.

Continuing the appropriately unorthodox approach to reworking a classic, asymmetric zip fastening replaces conventional lacing, revealing a dual branded tongue beneath, while a smoother outsole jettisons smaller details to focus on the main features. The Stone Island logo is rendered in white stitching on the left shoe, and a leather and suede heeltab, plus a custom sockliner finish a stunning new look for the Samba’s slimline silhouette.

After first collaborating last season, Stone Island worked once again this season with Aitor Throup to bring you the Articulated Anatomy project. This time the idea was for the garments to directly mirror the range of movement of the body itself. The pieces morph and move, extend and contract, just like the body does. With the industrialization of the garment industry and ever-growing standardization one has excepted that clothes are produced in a certain manner, usually all pretty much the same. In reality though, the body is hardly ever in such a strict pose, as proposed by most garments out there.

It is once again great to see how Aitor Throup has challenged standardized garment construction in the new Articulated Anatomy Project with Stone Island.

Take a detailed look at the resulting pieces after the jump.

A while ago we previewed the Stone Island “Shadow Project” bag(s). We thought they were presenting several bags, but it turns out that it is all the same bag, it is just transformable. The bag was produced by Bagjack Berlin, and can be used as a messenger bag, backpack and a briefcase.

“With the lid zipped and the straps across your chest you get a full capacity backpack, with the lid zipped open and buttoned to the inside you have a messenger bag, with the lid flipped towards the back (covering the strap system) – you get your briefcase… with a little practice you will become a true master of this bag.”

The bag is now availalbe at The Glade.

After presenting you the Shadow Project collection by Stone Island last week, we show you today the general collection of the Italian brand. As usual Stone Island presents an innovative collection, mixing innovative colors with innovative cuts and silhouettes. Even the most simple looking piece will have some interesting features and details. After all there is a reason why most high end Italian fashion houses purchases Stone Island for inspiration.

We continue to explore the Stone Island Spring/Summer 2009 Shadow Project Collection, that combines two brands efforts that we have always been big fans of – Stone Island of course, and Acronym. The lookbook images give you a better idea of this seasons range, which consists of not only jackets, but also shirts, pants, shorts and accessories.

From the Stone Island Spring/Summer 2009 Collection comes the “Night Vision” collection. As usual the Italian brand is not shy of innovation and presents a couple of glow-in-the-dark pieces this season.

The t-shirt comes in light cotton jersey and features a phosphorescent compass card printed on the front. The printing gets light and lightens in the dark. Matching the t-shirt, they present a jacket in phosphorescent all over printed cotton cloth, which has then been overprinted with a thermo-chromo-sensitive pattern, which changes color and nearly disappears at 28 degrees. The garment changes color by day and lightens by night.
