Stone Island has unveiled a special capsule to mark the Year of the Horse 2026, drawing on the animal’s associations with power and forward momentum.
Rendered in gold and deep brown, colours traditionally linked to fortune and prosperity, the capsule translates the Horse’s symbolism through Stone Island’s functional, material-led design language. The accompanying campaign was shot in Hu Zhou, with stills by photographer Chiang Ming Shih and a short film directed by Lyu Qing, capturing movement and progression as central motifs. Juan appears in key pieces including Stone Island’s Nylon Metal jacket made from regenerated ECONYL fibres, reinforcing the brand’s focus on innovation and performance.
The project continues Stone Island’s “Community as a Form of Research” initiative, highlighting long-standing relationships while grounding the collection in cultural storytelling.
