Stone Island has taken over the Selfridges Corner Shop in London with Selected Works ’982–’026_Stone Island: The Collector Series, an exhibition that places the brand’s archive alongside the collectors who have preserved, researched and shaped its culture. On view until November 6th, 2026, it marks Stone Island’s first formal collaboration with its independent collector community.
Stone Island archive
The project draws on Stone Island’s archive as a continually evolving body of knowledge, shaped by those who collect and wear the brand. Eight independent collectors — Arco Maher, Better Gift Shop, ‘bout, 194 Local, Holsales, Metallic Curtain, Pezze and SimJae — share personal research, archives and perspectives, each offering a distinct take on the brand’s history.
Archival garments are available to purchase, with their provenance and individual stories forming part of the exhibition. Highlights include the SS ’993 Reflective Jacket, AW ’983–’984 Jock-23, SS ’007 David TC Sublimation Print, AW ’001–’002 Monofilament Camo and AW ’989–’990 Ice Jacket Thermosensitive Fabric, charting decades of experimentation in materials and garment technology.
Archive meets the present
The collectors’ selections sit alongside Stone Island’s Autumn_Winter ’026–’027 collection and products created exclusively for Selfridges. Historical pieces meet current designs, tracing a line between the brand’s technical legacy and the community that has grown around it.
Stone Island CEO and president Robert Triefus describes the project as a space for the voices of those who have discovered, worn, preserved and reinterpreted the brand over the decades, while Selfridges sees it as a closer connection between its customers and the wider Stone Island community.
Willo Perron’s temporary architecture
Willo Perron has redesigned the Selfridges Corner Shop around the temporary nature of the exhibition. Inspired by military base camps, his flexible system uses castor-mounted metal stands, modular shelving, tent-like structures and digital screens that can be assembled and rearranged throughout the six-week run.
Translucent, hazy windows give the space a distinctive presence from Oxford Street, while industrial fixtures echo Stone Island’s longstanding interest in materials, engineering and performance. The result is an adaptable environment where collectors, garments and displays can shift throughout the exhibition.
