At the Archives || Ollie Evans' Stone Island Collection

Much like Supreme, Stone Island is one of those cult brands that people treat like Pokémon, often compelling them to dredge through eBay and every other bastion of deadstock clothing in search of rare vintage pieces from the brand’s distant past. Ollie Evans is one such Stoney enthusiast, who lets us peer into his enviable collection of rare S.I. wares.

Ollie gives us a rundown of the brand’s history, its personal appeal to him, as well as a glimpse at some of the ultra-limited edition pieces that comprise his archive, which include pieces from the brand’s second season in 1983. Looking at such a broad spectrum of Stoney products, we get to see how the brand has evolved over the years, and how certain materials weave their way through seasons. It’s a unique snapshot of an incredibly storied label.
