Stone Island has presented the latest chapter of Community as a Form of Research, the ongoing platform exploring the dialogue between product, culture, and the global community that shapes the brand’s evolution. The project brings together individuals from different disciplines whose perspectives contribute to a shared investigation into innovation and contemporary culture.

Developed around Stone Island’s enduring concept of LAB + LIFE, the Fall/Winter 2026-27 collection is presented through a series of portraits where product innovation and individual expression exist in dialogue. The season opens with World Champion table tennis player Xu Xin, DJ and watch dealer Adrian Douzmanian, filmmaker Nick Love, three-time WNBA Champion Breanna Stewart, and photographer Simjae. The project will continue throughout the season with portraits of Fakemink, Skepta, Stephen Graham, 3House, Samir Bantal, Monika Sprüth, and Jia Zhang-Ke.

The campaign was photographed by David Sims and styled by Max Pearmain under the creative direction of Ferdinando Verderi. Check it out below:
