Stone Island Shadow Project SS2015 Lookbook
The 14th Stone Island Shadow Project collection is a mirage on the horizon; a heat haze of perspective shifting inversion and refraction. Vibrant and gritty, granular and loose, it's the freshness and intensity of youth tempered by process and exposure to the elements. West coast Zephyr inspired colors are turned up to maximum saturation, then slightly muted by treatments both softening and metallic. Materials have an easy, lived-in feel, but retain the underlying edge of technical performance and real use. Loose street and slope born shapes flow with relaxed tailoring and diffused prep looks. Graphics are minimal definitions; outlines and impressions of the underlying framework.
Stone Island Shadow Project SS2010 Lookbook
The Stone Island Shadow vector continues with the project's fourth seasonal capsule collection. Fueled by new reactions within the project's original conceptual core, fresh manifestations of fabric, style, detail, and interface emerge as the lightest, yet most comprehensive, offering thus far.
This unique trajectory begins, of course, at a unique point of origin — the inimitable constellation of research and development that is STONE ISLAND. Hidden detail and potential action lies at the heart of each and every Stone Island Shadow style.
Enfolding this in a simpler, softer way, a new focus can be brought to bear on both resolution of shape and fidelity of color. The goal is vibrancy and directness; stripping away the superfluous without sacrificing capability, and the lightness that can only be found by moving through one's environment with zero resistance.
Modular Performance Grid, PARSEQ is the organizational framework upon which the idea is built: PROOF, AUGMENT, RESIST, SKIN and EQUIP. All Shadow fabrics work together as part of the grid — breathable, moisture managing, skin-friendly and maintainable — chosen for their balance of performance technology and the aesthetic treatments for which Stone Island has been known since its inception.

stone island navigation series [reinvent the wheel] by liam macrae
Stone Island’s Navigation Series: Reinvent the Wheel, photographed by Liam MacRae, is part of the brand’s ongoing study of orientation and movement. The work frames navigation as both physical and symbolic—referencing terrain, direction, and systems of guidance. Within the series, “Reinvent the Wheel” emphasizes reinterpreting established structures of travel and perception, continuing Stone Island’s research into exploration and the mechanics of wayfinding.

EMERY MOUNTAINS
April 2024, FRIEZE No. 9 Cork Street Gallery, London
EXHIBITION: The Mountains Between Us, FRIEZE No 9 Cork St
Weaving together photography, video and sculptural objects, lena_c_emery highlights the accelerated loss of mountain glaciers and the desperate conservation efforts currently employed to impede their decline. Under the continued influence of greenhouse-gas forced global warming, ice that took centuries to develop is vanishing in just a number of years. A fate experts predict for at least two-thirds of all glaciers by the end of this century. EMERY: In ‘The Mountains Between Us’, I capture the current environmental efforts undertaken to reduce the rate at which glaciers melt. Glaciers have held space for centuries, silently bearing witness to history. They’ve seen the world change in ways we can barely comprehend. Because my grandfather spent his life in these mountains, watching this particular glacier retreat and form lakes where there was previously only ice and at a pace that’s steadily increasing, feels deeply personal. The idea of covering these mammoths in fabric to stall the inevitable, feels both tragic and emblematic of our relationship with nature: The magnitude of loss countered by gestures that, though earnest, feel powerless. Visually these wrapped peaks evoke images of muddied tents, makeshift shelters that we’ve come to erect for those displaced by upheaval. This fragility, their fragility, our fragility, is a direct reflection of the imbalance we have sown, where those least responsible for ecological destruction are forced to bear its heaviest burdens. The title became a way to frame those divides. Mountains have always symbolised barriers, but perhaps they could also be reimagined as thread, shared histories and a collective belonging. The elemental particles composing our very being once danced amidst these ancient landscapes and if they disappear, part of us does too.

Troya by Gordon von Steiner
Gordon von Steiner’s “Troya” is a visually striking short film set in the Troieshchyna neighborhood of Kyiv, known for its stark Soviet-era architecture. The film explores themes of urban isolation and resilience through a series of compelling and gritty vignettes. Von Steiner’s direction captures the raw and unembellished aesthetics of Troieshchyna, highlighting its dense clusters of monotonous apartment buildings and the lives of its residents.

Adidas Knitted Shoe Upper Patent
Figures from US patent application US20250160486A1, 'Knitted Shoe Upper', filed by Adidas AG (inventors Stefan Tamm, Carl Arnese and James Carnes; published 22 May 2025). The upper is knitted in one piece with two zones, a more elastic yarn and a stiffer yarn, placing stretch and support without seams or separate reinforcement panels. The drawings show the yarn zones and construction across forefoot, midfoot and heel.

Japanese electronic duo Silent Poets produced the music for the runway show.
Dada Supreme Chrome CDubbz Sneakers
The Dada Supreme Chrome C-Dubbz sneakers are built around an intentionally heavy, high-volume silhouette: a tall collar, a thick tongue, and a wide forefoot that reads as protective and stable. The upper is typically constructed from layered synthetic panels with pronounced overlays, giving the shoe a structured, armored look and a more rigid feel than minimalist basketball uppers. Stitch lines and panel breaks are used as graphic elements—sections are segmented, stacked, and outlined to create depth, with glossy “chrome” accents placed to catch highlights and exaggerate contour changes as the foot moves.
Branding is designed to be unmistakable at a distance. Expect oversized side marks, large-scale heel or tongue identifiers, and bold, high-contrast placements that function like visual anchors on the lateral and medial sides. The chrome treatment usually appears as reflective or high-shine synthetic components (often on overlays, badges, or trim), creating a hard, metallic read against matte base materials and emphasizing the shoe’s sculpted geometry.
Padding and fit cues tend to be substantial: a thick collar for ankle cushioning, a padded tongue that fills the lace channel, and a lace system supported by reinforced eyestays. This combination aims for a locked-in, “wrapped” fit—more secure and cushioned than sleek—especially through the midfoot where the overlays and lacing work together to reduce lateral movement.
The sole unit is equally assertive. The midsole sits tall with a broad footprint, visually communicating impact protection and stability. Tooling is typically chunky and segmented, with sculpted sidewalls and recesses that add shadow and definition. The outsole commonly uses deep grooves and a dense traction pattern intended for grip and durability, with a flatter contact area and widened edges that support hard stops, pivots, and lateral cuts. Overall, the design language prioritizes structure, cushioning volume, and visual force—built to feel protective under load and to look loud even when standing still.
