co-curators @santandave Stone Island Selected Works: 2016-2026 @doverstreetmarketlondon on display at DSM London until the end of this week.

Stone Island Selected Works: 2016-2026 @santandave @doverstreetmarketlondon Massimo Osti’s 1987 Berlin exhibition was an avant-garde spectacle, with garments displayed between two sheets of plexiglass, creating a compressed, almost squashed aesthetic where pieces appeared frozen in motion. (Slides 2 + 4 + 9) I’ve long wanted to reference this renowned Osti technique, and with Dave wearing many of the selected archive pieces on stage, the visual language of implied motion felt like the perfect fit. In some frames, we focused on mirroring Dave’s body language to the reference image — as seen with AW 2023 Handmade Effect on Chain Stitch Marina Knit — his left arm falls by his side while the right is extended upwards. (Slides 6 + 7) Honoured to work alongside the design wizards @charlieparkerproducer @formdcreative @jakepowleybaker who helped mastermind it all. Exhibition on display at DSM London until the end of this week.

Stone Island Selected Works: 2016-2026 @santandave @doverstreetmarketlondon An exhibition co-curated by Dave and Arco Maher, showcasing a series of items from Dave’s personal archive, worn in music videos, stage performances and beyond. Dream project with one of the very best. Dave and I share a deep-rooted love for Stone Island. His affinity with the brand feels inevitable as they mirror one another’s qualities — a forensic approach to their craft, executed with the greatest care. We wanted to create a visual timeline of pivotal moments in Dave’s career, which of course coincides with various special Stone pieces from his archive. The exhibition also celebrates the limited-edition collaboration between the two, created especially for “The Boy Who Played The Harp” tour. Campaign Shot by @boladebanjo Thank you to the many legends who worked tirelessly to bring this to life @bennyscarrs @singbluesilver3 @jussycash @oliver_cooke @sseanbbell @frapic @giuliaboeri @oliviarizzotto @martinacorradix @charlieparkerproducer @formdcreative @jakepowleybaker I’ll get into the intricacies of our design approach and build-out in another post but for now please go check the exhibition at DSM London — showing until end of this week.

SS 1998 LINO GOMMATO REVERSE COLOUR PROCESS JACKET Black linen canvas bonded to a transparent polyurethane outer layer. Through an exclusive post-garment process, the original fabric colour is corroded, with the exclusion of the spellout text. The collar, cuffs + pocket structure show reduced fading due to the double layering and seam construction. Light garment overdye finish. Pocket shape. Contour shadowing. Natural blemishes where the black layer has bled through the fabric. The press-stud panel at the cuffs. These are the details that make every Stone piece unique. • arco maher archive •

SS 1990 ICE CAMOUFLAGE JACKET Cotton canvas ripstop twill with a camouflage print, finished in a thermo-sensitive coating containing liquid crystals that change colour based on temperature. As the temperature drops, the fabric print gradually disappears, taking on the same shade as the garment’s solid dye. Detailing in Ottoman, printed with coloured pigments. Red corduroy collar. Metal vents to underarms. Large pouch pocket to lower back. Embossed metal buttons throughout. First developed in 1987, the “Ice” or “Colour Change” technology still feels quietly radical. Its recent return across luxury + streetwear only reinforces its lasting resonance. As ever, Stone was there first. • arco maher archive •

SS 1984 DENIM CHORE JACKET Heavy denim wash. Resin-treated herringbone cotton collar. Rubber fastening created from a mould. Unique 80s square badge. Cropped and boxy, with generous sleeves. My favourite details are mostly hidden, but too beautiful not to mention: those stitched metal press studs at the cuffs, small pouch pocket on the inner back, and — not so hidden — that incredible herringbone pattern to upper back panel. Massimo Osti’s first venture into denim fabrics at Stone. • arco maher archive •

SS 1991 BONEVILLE BOMBER JACKET An electric green nylon outer shell with all-over shimmer effect. The reversed, navy cotton side is flooded with some unexpected pineapple motifs… the green side is personally preferred. Silk soft ribbed cuffs + hem. Boneville always felt like the sportier Massimo Osti line, while still maintaining a similar level of innovation and grandeur — another exciting archive acquisition. • arco maher archive •

SS 1988 RASO GOMMATO BLACK COVER “HELICOPTER” JACKET Satin weave cotton of military origin bonded, with black polyurethane inner layer. Removable visor mask which folds away into collar. Rich royal blue colouring achieved by garment dyeing process. Nicknamed the “Helicopter” Jacket for its heli-visor hood design, this is arguably one of the most sought after pieces. The model was reimagined in the 2014 Stone Island | Supreme collaboration in black, camouflage and yellow colourways — marking the first release in what became a legendary nine-year partnership. The yellow version is famously one of Carlo Rivetti’s favourite pieces. The final chapter of the collaborative series in 2023 saw the heli-visor concept partially reinterpreted once again, this time paired with a nylon metal hood + cowhide leather bomber silhouette. There’s something deeply magnetic about this piece: the cropped, boxy proportions; the utilitarian zip and pocket architecture; the green-tinged visor framed by canvas roping, the playful sense of character it brings when on the body. A ten-year hunt has finally come to a close — welcome to the family. • arco maher archive •

AW 1988 BONEVILLE (NAVY ARCTIC) MA-1 FLIGHT BOMBER JACKET Constructed from soft cotton fabrics with a silk-nylon quilted lining. Faded blue hues created using a garment dye process. Ribbed wool panelling to neckline, cuffs + hem. Boxy & beautiful. Massimo Osti’s take on the MA-1 bomber silhouette — the perfect blend between utility and style. Named after a small French town in Upper Savoy, Boneville has long been overshadowed by Stone + CP, whose pieces take precedence when people scour the globe for Osti-designed goods. Recently, the brand has grown more desirable as demand for louder branding diminishes, giving way to a quieter design language defined by cut & material construction. The enduring influence of M.O. can never be underestimated… excited to add this 1 to the vault. • arco maher archive •
