“Stone Island is all about infinite colours—not just the shades of its garments, but the endless creativity behind them. The title ‘Infinite Colours’ is a nod to this approach, a way of thinking about possibilities and opportunities, brought to life by a community of people who turn bold visions into reality.”
Ken-Tonio Yamamoto, director
The Stone Island documentary ‘Infinite Colours’ is a visual odyssey that dives deep into the DNA of the iconic label and its ecosystem of tradition-meets-future. Directed by longtime collaborator Ken-Tonio Yamamoto, the cinematic “docu-poem” – a hybrid mix of documentary narrative with elements of visual and descriptive poetry – unfolds within the heart of the Italian brand’s Ravarino headquarters, near Modena. That’s because it tells the story of Stone Island from an unparalleled perspective – by the people who make the garments themselves.
Yamamoto, whose 15-year relationship with the label has given him unparalleled insight, crafts a dream-like narrative that feels personal and raw. “I kept meeting these incredible people and hearing their stories,” Yamamoto says about the project. “I knew the only way to tell Stone Island’s story authentically was through their eyes.” Hence the film’s title: a metaphor for both the dyeing wizardry that defines the label and the infinite creativity of the people behind it.
Yamamoto’s lens follows the Stone Island team as they handpick materials, fine-tune garments, and oversee the dyeing processes that make Stone Island famous. Interwoven with interviews and archival shots of key pieces like the Tela Stella and Kevlar jackets, the film has a layered, collage-like feel, mirroring the complexity of the brand’s creative process. Embracing failures as stepping stones, Infinite Colours is a reminder that Stone Island’s relentless innovation isn’t just mechanical – it’s human.
