Fashion Technology
The Ice Jacket is a high rate technology garment: the cotton fabric has a thermo-sensitive coating, water and wind resistant. The molecules of the coating's micro-encapsulated pigments modify the passage of light when temperature lowers and morph to darker a colour.
This jacket, is one of Stone Island iconic pieces. Since the early Nineties, they have introduced the concept of light refractivity, borrowed from safety work garments. The Reflective fabric is highly refractive, due to a coating procedure made with thousands of glass micro-spheres.
ITS ALL ABOUT STONE ISLAND

The video shows the evolution of an item to a garment, just such attention to detail.
