Stone Island’s Post

The Stone Island Prototype Research_Series are limited editions, by nature. They feature garments in fabrics and/or treatments born from research and experimentation processes that have not yet been industrialized.   The Series_08 fabric is borrowed from the advanced industrial techniques that aim to create rigid shells for the automotive, boating and sports sectors, starting from flexible and multiaxial components. This fabric is born from A collaboration between stone island and three industrial partners that has allowed the modification of some technical treatments to obtain a flexible, translucent and water resistant experimental material, usable in the field of clothing. The process involves the creation of a multiaxial linen textile base as a natural reinforcement material, subsequent needle-cohesion to a non-woven fabric veil, state-of-the-art inkjet printing with pigments and double lamination of aliphatic polyurethane film. The 100 print artworks - one created per garment - recompose into a large fresco, a dreamlike organic landscape reminiscent of a primordial world The cape style is inspired by the very first Stone Island collection in 1982 – a functional reference to a military garment that could evolve into a tent.   A STONE ISLAND RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENTATION PROJECT     INDUSTRIAL PARTNERS: SELCOM_GRUPPO FC: TEXTILE BASE CONSTRUCTION DE.

The Stone Island Prototype Research_Series are limited editions, by nature. They feature garments in fabrics and/or treatments born from research and experimentation processes that have not yet been industrialized. On the occasion of Milan Design Week 2024, Stone Island presents Prototype Series_08. The fabric is borrowed from the advanced industrial techniques that aim to create rigid shells for the automotive, boating and sports sectors, starting from flexible and multiaxial components. The process involves the creation of a multiaxial linen textile base as a natural reinforcement material, subsequent needle-cohesion to a non-woven fabric veil, state-of-the-art inkjet printing with pigments and double lamination of aliphatic polyurethane film. The 100 numbered print artworks - one created per garment - recompose into a large fresco, a dreamlike organic landscape reminiscent of a primordial world. The cape style is inspired by the very first Stone Island collection in 1982 – a functional reference to a military garment that could evolve into a tent.

🌟✨ 𝑺𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑷𝒂𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒗𝒔. 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒇𝒆𝒓 𝑷𝒂𝒑𝒆𝒓 🤔🔍 Know their differences between these two printing champions by considering key aspects! 🌈🖨️ 𝟏. 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:   - 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿: Coated paper for dye sublimation inks. Ink transforms into gas, penetrating the material.   -𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿: Features a special adhesive layer transferring to the fabric, leaving the image on the fabric. 𝟐. 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲:   - 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿: Minimal hand feels post-transfer with excellent breathability.   - 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿: It has a harder feel due to the adhesive layer and is less breathable. 𝟑. 𝐒𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬:   - 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿: Ideal for non-cotton fabrics like polyester, and coated items like mugs.   - 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿: Versatile, suitable for various fabrics, including cotton blends. 𝟒. 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬:   - 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿: Mirror image printing; high heat sublimates ink onto the fabric.   - 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿: Direct pattern printing on paper; adhesive layer and pattern transferred to fabric with heat. 𝟓. 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲:   - 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿: High color fidelity with better washability; achieves around 98% color reproduction for items like mugs.   - 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿: Improved quality, but color fidelity and washability may vary due to the adhesive layer. 🔍 A brief conclusion: heat transfer paper leaves a raised pattern, while dye sublimation paper ensures a smooth, imperceptible finish. 🌟👀 #SublimationPaper #HeatTransferPaper #PrintingTips #sublimationprintingmachine🚀🎨

"WLOVE” necklace @maissaofficial 3d printed and handcrafted in gold I designed the pendant in the shape of a planet containing a gold heart. In jewelry I like elements nested one inside the other expressing different layers of meaning. Every jewel is customizable and this connects emotionally the consumer to the product, achieving an emotional durability of the piece. 3printing is meant to produce on demand so to reduce drastically the amount of waste in production and to avoid the problem of unsold products. Energy and raw materials consumption are reduced in comparison with other common technologies. My design and tech approach valorize craftsmanship: high quality and beauty of the jewel come from the handwork. Proud to use such an incredible and sustainable technology as 3d printing combined to the unique, precious handwork of Italian artisans. My vision is craftsmen and 3d makers working together for a better world. #maissaofficial #sustainablejewelry #ecodesign #italiancraftsmanship #3dprinting #sustainableluxury

   The Art of Handmade Printing There's something profoundly satisfying about the art of handmade printing. For me, it's a journey back in time and a celebration of human creativity that transcends generations. Woodblock printing, silk screening, and various other forms of handmade printing carry with them a rich history of craftsmanship, a tangible connection to the past, and a deep sense of authenticity. Each stroke of the brush, each carve in a woodblock, and each pull of the squeegee represents a labor of love. This age-old technique allows us to channel our inner artisans, connecting with the materials and the process in a way that digital methods can't quite replicate. It's the imperfections, the variations, and the unique character of each print that make it special. There's a tactile, soulful quality to these prints that can't be replicated by machines. Exploring the world of handmade printing is like stepping into a time capsule, unlocking the secrets of ancient artistry and bringing them into the present. It's a testament to the enduring power of human creativity and craftsmanship. In our fast-paced, digital world, I find solace in the slow, deliberate, and intricate nature of handmade printing. It's a reminder that art isn't just about the end result; it's about the journey, the process, and the stories we tell with our hands. So, here's to the joys of handmade printing, an art form that connects us with our roots and brings a touch of the past into our modern lives. #HandmadePrinting #Craftsmanship #PrintingHistory #Artistry https://lnkd.in/gWkAgPbs
