Serie 100 Jacket

Born in 2001 as Stone Island's debut in the world of women's fashion, Serie 100 was an experimental project designed by Paul Harvey — who would later describe it as the best collection he ever produced at the brand. After six years working under the iconic compass badge, Harvey used Serie 100 as the first place he could design garments with no external branding at all: no badge, no logos, no markings on the buttons. Every piece had to live and be interesting on its own merit.

The line was Stone Island's first venture into meshes. The shell is a continuous-thread nylon monofilament — a transparent mesh protected by a double-layered transparent micro polyurethane film, creating an additional super-lightweight outer skin. Inner constructions use nylon with polyester padding, overprinted in dark grey via hot-sublimation pressure printing. The transparent layers were deliberately allowed to reveal the internal architecture of each piece — a design language built around making the construction itself the design.

Serie 100 ran for six seasons across 2001–2004 before being retired. Today the line is among the most quietly collectable corners of the Stone Island archive — instantly recognisable to those who know, invisible to those who don't, exactly as Harvey intended.
