Stone Island has redefined the common sense of sportswear thanks to continuous research and experimentation on fibers and fabrics applied to a modern design, giving life to informal garments with innovative colors and materials. The brand was founded in 1982 in Ravarino, Emilia-Romagna, by Massimo Osti, immediately distinguishing itself for the fabrics, garment dyeing and special treatments used. In 2020 it was acquired by Moncler.
