Joining the bandwagon of brands taking advantage of the Lunar New Year to release coordinating apparel, Stone Island has revealed a “YEAR OF THE SNAKE ‘025” capsule, introducing one-off detailing inspired by the zodiac sign to a range of house staples.
The colour red is closely related to positive themes and ideas throughout Chinese culture, especially when the calendar resets and the cycle positions a new symbol to embody the year ahead and rather than doing the usual “snake graphic plastered over everything”, Stone Island is dropping a more subtle homage to the idea of shedding skin to conquer new grounds.
With eight different styles on offer, largely comprised of essential graphic options, Stone Island uses the luck-related shade on the individual pieces’ embroidery and stitch-work, highlighting the compass logo on caps, tees and fleecewear, alongside a jacket, sling bag and trousers constructed from Stone Island’s proprietary nylon metal fabric.
The jacket steals the spotlight with a modular makeup that affords the wearer a customisable experience with detachable hoods and sleeves held together by a quilted body section that works red stitching in a horizontal pattern that mimic the snake’s slender, limbless frame.
