The Italian brand Stone Island opened its first major archive exhibition in the United States on Thursday.

The exhibition, which will take place at Buttercup Studios in Culver City, opens with a display of 42 archival pieces, each representing pivotal moments in the brand's history. Another display highlights 12 reflective jackets, while another installation highlights Stone Island Pure Metal Shell Jackets, with 35 examples on display.
