Stone Island Shadow Project AW '009 '010 Lookbook

Stone Island Shadow, the project designed by the creative team Acronym®, Errolson Hugh and Michaela Sachenbacher , sees in the third season its linear progression in both depth and direction. Newly developed fabrics , styles and graphical standards continue the projects original mandate and demonstrate its ongoing relevance through styles whose intrinsic value is a direct result of their sophistication.

Modular Performance Grid, PARSEQ is the organizational framework upon which the idea is built. The name is an acronym for the 5 categories of the system: PROOF, AUGMENT, RESIST, SKIN and EQUIP.

Stone Island Shadow is primarily a system based upon the idea of clothing as a man’s interface with his environment. Proven functional principals from both military and active sportswear allow the individual items in the collection to work both alone and, most effectively, synergistically together. The Grid is is independent of seasonal and aesthetic change. This means that there is functional continuity between all Shadow collections and items , regardless of when they were produced and/or purchased. Each item is an extension of its owner’s personal system.
