Stone Island - 30th Anniversary

The first post in the new year features some really great news! We celebrate the birthday of my personal favorite italian sportswear brand, Stone Island. Carlo Rivetti has prepared something really special for the connoisseurs of his and of course  Massimo Osti`s work.  In this video he shows us a few pieces we can expect to be released in 2012:

My absolute favorite is the Tela Stella jacket, the first jacket shown in this video. It`s a remake of one of the first Stone Island jackets ever made. It seems to be an exact copy of the original Tela Stella jacket apart from the anniversary badge. If you you want to learn more about the history of Stone Island and the first season check out this article, written by Jamie, a well known collector of the Osti Archive Forum.


He also provided some of the following pictures,showing the first jackets ever made by Stone Island.


This is the A/W 82/83 Tela Stella Jacket, which will be reissued by Stone Island this year.

This is a picture of an original colour chart from 1982, it is still in the factory in Bologna these days. Hopefully the new version of the Tela Stella Jacket comes in all six colours.
