Technical fashion brand Stone Island unveils its Ghost collection, made up of entirely monochromatic designs for the season. The range features designs made specifically with a remake of the iconic Stone Island badge. The color palette arrives in white, black, blue, and military green. In preparation for the Fall/Winter 2019/2020 range, the pieces are constructed from natural wool.
Notably, there are additional fabric touches that are man-made to ensure intricacy. The seasonal Ghost collection features sweaters, trousers, and knitwear. Some of the standout designs include the hooded jacket that is made with a diagonal military special wool and linen tela. It is also coated with resin on the interior to add waterproof elements.
