2025 is the Year of the Snake on the Chinese Zodiac calendar, and one of the many brands celebrating the new beginning is Stone Island, who’s just announced a new collection dubbed “Year of the Snake ‘025.” As a snake is constantly shedding its skin, it’s become a metaphor for everything from renewal to transformation and spiritual growth — and also represents traits like wisdom, creativity and intuition — so Stone Island has taken the serpentine inspiration and created a versatile collection with details like swooping red stitching and modular, detachable pieces.
A jacket, pants, vest, hooded sweatshirt, crewneck sweatshirt, shorts, baseball cap and a messenger bag are included in the collection, each produced in silver or black and featuring red trim/embroidered details. Outerwear is made from Stone Island’s signature nylon metal and features a garment-dyed finish, with the jacket boasting detachable sleeves that allow it to be converted into a vest (though the hood offers a gillet-like look, it does not appear to be detachable as well). All pieces also come packaged in a special bright red bag with a silver Stone Island logo for a final festive touch.
The Stone Island “Year of the Snake ‘025” collection is available now via Stone Island’s webstore and brick-and-mortar outposts in the APAC region, and a global release may follow in the coming weeks.
