Історія моди
Massimo Osti founded Stone Island in 1982 as a secondary line to C.P. Company, initially experimenting with a heavy-duty truck tarpaulin fabric called Tela Stella. The brand gained significant cultural traction within the British football casual subculture during the 1980s and 1990s. It is historically significant for pioneering garment dyeing techniques and industrial textile applications in luxury fashion, influencing the development of modern technical performance wear and high-end streetwear.
