454NN tela stella
SPRING_SUMMER ’982

Stone Island was founded on this fabric. Tela Stella was born out of the study of the technical and functional characteristics of military truck tarpaulins. It is a cotton canvas impregnated on both sides with special pigmented resin in contrasting colours. The finished garment then undergoes an extended enzyme wash in order to give it a faded look and to break down the density of the material. The result is a windproof garment that has an air of old oilskins corroded by the sea, while maintaining a marked military feel.
